benchmarks don't run

[retorquere]

When I run npm run start in the benchmarks folder, I get

> start
> ts-node ./src/index.ts

What version of node/ts-node do you use? I have been googling around for a solution but haven't found anything yet.

The benchmarks run on node 16.

Yep, apparently this does not run on later versions like v18 or v20. I'll take a look and update this to work with the newest version.

Fixed by switching to tsx.
