I love not needing tsnode anymore. Just wish it'd do type-checking, since without that we still need to install typescript separately. Add onto that a linter/formatter... meanwhile Deno does all of that natively. Node needs to step up its game.

I made a small template that demonstrates the new type-stripping feature in Node.js. Nothing fancy but I was surprised that I didn't need to install a TypeScript test runner and generally how nice it was.

It seems a little silly to not support some of the small additions TypeScript contributes when it could just be another flag to enable enum, namespace, constructor to property init support

you can try the --experimental-transform-types flag to support TypeScript code gen. I'll add it to the notes!
