has new version addressing build failure on node16.

I try to upgrade and will create a PR if successful.

ha yes, I noticed that recently, the dev-dependencies only install <= node14
the benchmark process is the culprit (and the need to install bunch of other third party libs to test them)
Some of them have native dependencies and can cause lot of install problems.

I already created an issue for that, the idea is to move that benchmarking process and those dependencies into a dedicated sub project and dockerize it. But I have started to work on it yet #6
One of the workaround for the moment is to manually remove problematic dependencies from package.json

"cld": "^2.7.0",
"lingua-node": "^0.3.0",

It should install and you should be able to run normal commands like yarn test, yarn build.

I will double check the 0.4.1 version of lingua-node to see if it solve the install problem on node 16

[kefniark]

Indeed I confirm that after upgrading to lingua-node@0.4.1, it install on node16.
Updated that 👍

I just went out for grocery shopping, but it seems you fixed it all already.
