Yeah, absolutely agreed.
Btw, you probably already know this, but if you don't. The later versions of Node can run typescript natively. By "run", I mean, it can run a subset of the language, if your project indirectly or indirectly references a file that has "decorators" or something like that, then you'll need to use another compiler.
ts-node or tsx are runners that I use typically if I just want to "run" something. They're basically zero config runners and I can debug with them with VS Code.






Same. I'm not even patriotic but I will get rid of all the shit I've built up to do this.
