Ah, I upgraded just yet, realized node 20 broke the way ts-node-esm loader works. Had to downgrade to 18, because there's no functionality I really need from 20. Also Vite complained when I tried node 19, because it requires <=18 && >=20 for some reason (probably good one).

I'm maintaining a few pristine example projects to keep track of these ways and test them periodically. This iteration probably had the shortest lifetime. I didn't manage to develop even a single toy project before something got obsoleted again. Love this community. Looking forward to solve a handful of brand new issues with tsx.

I wish there was some IDEish starter pack which you could install and start writing code anytime, without investigating issues with running a damn interpreter.
