I'm new to the Node ecosystem but still find it a big pain to get ES Modules working properly with Typescript and `ts-node`, and only a minor pair to get it to work with a Typescript build/run workflow. I have no problems with this feature being experimental but I wish the ecosystem acknowledged it more in documentation.

try giving tsx a try instead of ts-node: http://npmjs.com/tsx

Thanks for this. Just a few minutes ago I pulled up an old project using `ts-node` with ESM and tried to run it on a new machine, had some issues and remembered reading your comment here earlier. I switched to `tsx` and in less than a minute everything was working beautifully. I'll probably migrate all my TS projects to `tsx`.
