hopefully you’ll know whats happening.
I’m using a express project ts generator by seanpmaxwell to generate a new project
(Node version I’m using is v20.11.1)
It works just great, but I want to use es2022 on this (just want to get top level await working)
I have spent 3 days on this and its a total headache
I run yarn dev and this is the output
this is the package.json:

if you got any other way to start a express project using js and latest es (or es2022) I’m open to new ideas, so far this is the most complete generator I found but I haven’t been able to progress further.
thanks
