With ts-node or Deno there is no compile step you have to do yourself. For frontend, bundlers can be setup where it is pretty transparent.

I have found practically with ts-node or bundlers ... you can get knocked off the happy path, have problems, you need to fiddle with tsconfig.json and you need to spend ages in StackOverflow posts to fix it. This sometimes happen if you want to use a certain library, or doing a mass upgrade of a 2 year old project. I have no experience with Deno.

This. Pseudo-runtimes can't guarantee anything.
