Description

ts-node has supported custom transformers for over a year now, and with that, has included support for doing transformation with swc. In recent versions (released February 2022), it also supports a simple --swc flag which handles setting the transformer up for you.

With that option set, is there a compelling reason to choose this library instead? I've been really happy with my ts-node based workflow, but am wondering if it could be even better.
