ts-node, tsx & Friends
Compare ts-node, tsx, Node 22.6+ --experimental-strip-types, Bun, and Deno for running .ts files directly; pick the right tool, configure watch mode, and avoid the classic ESM / type-strip pitfalls.
Deno
Deno is a secure, modern JavaScript and TypeScript runtime built on V8 with permission-based sandboxing, built-in TypeScript, a curated standard library on JSR, and a complete toolchain (fmt, lint, test, bench, compile).
Bun
Bun is a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner written in Zig — a drop-in replacement for Node.js and npm with built-in TypeScript and JSX support.
Node.js Runtime
How to use the Node.js runtime — REPL, running scripts, CLI flags, ESM vs CJS modules, built-in node: modules, the process object, and modern globals like fetch and structuredClone.
