Expected Behavior

Being able to use top level await in a node typescript project.

Actual Behavior

Tons of errors no matter what combination of tsconfig.json, package.json and compiler flags I try.

Other solutions

I tried one setup using nodemon and babel and it worked, but with ts-node or ts-node-dev I can't get it working
and my search history is huge! Can't find a solution.
Even a solution I left someone else in the past, isn't currently working!!!
The solution was: nodemon -I --exec node --experimental-specifier-resolution=node --loader ts-node/esm ./src/main.ts

Please, help!!!

Solved?

Apparently, after reading massive number of solutions, I assumed I can run nodemon -e as a shorthand for --exec, and it was causing an error. It turned out -e is a shorthand for extension...

Now I finally got Top Level Await working with the following script:
nodemon --exec node --loader ts-node/esm src/main.ts
