@akazakou do you have any clue?

@wi-ski @icebob Looks like a bug in ts-node. If we are not using tslib to handle require functionality, I've also had the same issue. But based on my gist it works fine https://gist.github.com/akazakou/20d4368d087a9d874eecd65f9e8f70d8

After a deep investigation, I found that it not working without enabled esModuleInterop option for ts-node

TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS='{"esModuleInterop": true}' ts-node index.ts
