Yes, I agree with that. To me the difference between this and the current changes is that TS support seems to have been a decision done quite early.

Meanwhile configuration and npm support was something that initially (pre and at 1.0 times) was something considered a bad thing. Now, not so much.

I would lie if I said that such a hard stance on these things wasn’t what initially drew me to the project.

I don't understand how breaking every dependency in the ecosystem just to not have to setup a package.json or tsconfig.json file is worth it.

It's really not. Deno broke most of its promises, so for me personally, it's no longer worth switching over.

Setting up TypeScript with node is maybe 1 minute work? I don't understand this argument.
