Jiti vs tsx vs...

[husayt]

I found this comparison table of ts runtimes
https://github.com/privatenumber/ts-runtime-comparison

According to that tsx outperforms everything on all parameters. I wonder if it is biased (since done by author of tsx) and jiti is not fairly represented there.

Would appreciate your views

tsx is very good too. The install size of jiti is way lower and regardless of comparison tables, jiti has 300M monthly downloads (3x) more it means it is working well for most of cases people needed, we made many compromises for "maximum compatibility".

I think pushing for this kind of comparations is never worth it and also we all should just use native .ts support in runtimes (Bun, Node, Deno) or use a modern bundler (rolldown) that undrestands ts and JSX.

I use jiti and love it. Since you just give it any ts and js and it just works. Seeing that comparison table, I said wow, let's try tsx. Gave some scripts i run with jiti. Some worked and some gave errors. So jiti is still the king for me.

Thank you for all the amazing work Pooya.
