Doing every type of app ? Yeah, that&amp;#x27;s blocker.&lt;p&gt;But it doesn&amp;#x27;t really matter. Every language ecosystem that succeeds starts off lacking things.&lt;p&gt;Personally I prefer starting with it early and be part of that ecosystem.</text></comment>

All my new projects at work are module type now.&lt;p&gt;I use ts-node with the optional SWC compiler which works great with pretty darn fast startup times. SWC can handle TypeScript experimental decorators including emitting metadata, so not losing out on anything with it ATM.</text></comment>
