Seeking sponsorship to restart development

[blakeembrey]

I'm looking for companies or individuals who benefit from ts-node and would like to see continued updates to sponsor work on this package. I'm more than happy to coordinate with featuring company logos on the README/website, or discuss other ways to show appreciation for sponsorship of work on this package.

It's been a while since this package has had a regular maintainer, and more than a few years since I was involved, but I know many people use this package and I would like to keep it maintained and up-to-date. However, the surface area has grown over the years and it's certainly not going to be a small effort to update it, keep it updated, and respond to all incoming issues and PRs. I would use the sponsorship funds to go full time on updating the package.

Some of the things I'd like to see done:

• Rewrite to support the latest ESM loading APIs, remove all the hacks related to older node version support
• Bump the minimum node.js supported version
• Improve overall runtime performance and memory usage
• Fix and update existing test suites
• Simplify the supported API space so new maintainers can quickly onboard
• Review and close the 200 open issues and PRs

If you are seeking an alternative to ts-node, I would recommend tsx.
