Seconded again. While tsx usually just works ts-node almost never just works. tsx is perhaps unfortunately named though so it may confuse people at first since it has nothing to do with jsx syntax.

Thank you for bringing this up, I almost ignored this project since I assumed it had something to do with TypeScript + JSX.

The JS ecosystem sure struggles with naming things.

The _programming_ ecosystem sure struggles with naming things.
Fair enough
I own the npm package node-ts, which has thousands of installs per week just because people confuse it with ts-node.

I didn't intend to typo-squat. Actually, my package is older than ts-node and was just a pun because it is an API for TeamSpeak written in TypeScript.

It's named as such to mirror `npx`
