  Description     : Execute TypeScript in Node.js

 The tsx executable runs your TypeScript code with modern and sensible
 defaults, making it user-friendly and especially great for beginners.
 .
 Features: seamless CommonJS or ESM imports and a watch mode.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.


This is an alternative to ts-node, though not a perfect replacement:
- tsx uses esbuild, ts-node uses node-typescript
- tsx has partial tsconfig.json support, ts-node has full support
- tsx is actively maintained, ts-node has had no release in three years

It is good to have, because ts-node is starting to break apart, and
a lot of typescript tests can be salvaged with tsx.
