Happy to help with lingua-js!

Hey Peter,

I need to use lingua again in a JS project, and I haven't added Node v18 support yet this year. And then I turned into the main lingua lib and I noticed that you are adding wasm support for lingua and I am happy to take on initial work for the lingua-js package!

Cheers,
Simon

Hi @lhr0909, thank you for volunteering and sorry for my late response. Even though I encourage everyone to participate, in this case I need to make some necessary adjustments to the WASM wrapper first before I can create the lingua-js package. The WASM API should strictly follow the builder pattern as in the Rust API but I did not know how to accomplish this back then. While working on the WASM API for grex, I found out how to do it. This has to be applied to lingua-rs as well.

I don't know whether I was clear enough about this. If so, I very much appreciate a PR with the necessary changes. Thank you. :)

I've opened issue #122 for this.

Cool. @pemistahl I will follow closely on this and if I have more time in my hand, will definitely help you with #122 as well as the lingua-js package. I used the Python lingua package for the script I needed, and I am investing my time and work towards the NLP world (been fighting the tensors in my head lol). Once the builder pattern is added I can definitely follow your wasm builds to set up lingua-js for you!
