    - Why include files, exports, and types in your package.json when you are just using ts-node to transpile on the fly? - ts-node is much slower than something like esbuild/tsx right…

    Would be nice if this didn't have a dependency on rxjs just for a single use of Observable

    This might make sense for performing a "final" build or for very small libraries, but IMO not really for anything beyond that or for any sort of application level codebase. Some of…
