esno

A Node.js runtime enhanced with esbuild for loading TypeScript and ESM modules. Version 4.8.0 is current and stable, with frequent releases alongside tsx. esno is essentially an alias of tsx (formerly esno was separate, now merged into tsx package). Differentiator: auto CJS/ESM mode detection, seamless TypeScript execution without config, and caching for faster reloads. Suitable for scripts, CLIs, and development servers.
