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
