Ts-node is honestly pretty terrible. By-default you need to disable some errors that make sense in code but not in a repl. "You just imported this thing but didn't use it yet, ERROR", which means that nobody uses the thing. Granted, I'm pretty spoiled by how excellent ipython is, but clearly no one actually uses ts-node. It doesn't even remember history between sessions, and they have no interest in making that work, even deferring to rlwrap.
