Using TypeScript in Node.js

Node.js now offers multiple ways to run TypeScript code, from tools like ts-node and tsx to new native support in version 23.6.0. The native approach uses "type stripping" to remove TypeScript types, but requires mandatory file extensions in imports and avoiding certain features like enums and namespaces. Companies using native TypeScript support report significant performance improvements, with some seeing 40% faster app startup times compared to ts-node.
