ts-node is great. Proper ESM support landed over the summer. All my new projects at work are module type now.

I use ts-node with the optional SWC compiler which works great with pretty darn fast startup times. SWC can handle TypeScript experimental decorators including emitting metadata, so not losing out on anything with it ATM.

+1 for the SWC compiler, been using it for some time and I love it.
