Also... when using TS try to use SWC compiler, which is like 50 times faster than tsc. Boosting your rabbit development cycle!

Kudos for the great article. Since there seems to be a shift towards ESM and Typescript. I wonder how to optimise this with `import` promises

Well.. Try to use SWC! You can even use SWC with ts-node/esm if you wish. Much faster build times. like 30-40x faster!
