TypeScript Cached Transpile

typescript-cached-transpile is a utility designed to accelerate TypeScript compilation in `transpileOnly` mode by monkey-patching the `typescript` compiler's `transpileModule` function to utilize a disk cache. It is currently at version 0.0.6, indicating an early development stage, and its release cadence is likely tied to the maintainer's personal monorepo updates. Its primary differentiator is its targeted optimization for `ts-node`'s `transpileOnly` mode, significantly reducing build times for repetitive compilations of unchanged files by persisting transpilation results to disk. It transparently integrates by being specified as `ts-node`'s compiler, and offers configuration via environment variables or a custom JS file for cache directory and portable cache settings. It explicitly states limitations, such as not working with transformers, diagnostics, or type-checking.
