ts-node is a TypeScript execution engine and REPL for Node.js. It allows you to run TypeScript files directly without pre-compiling them. It uses the TypeScript package for type checking but relies on @types/node for Node.js type definitions.
tslib is a runtime library for TypeScript that includes helper functions used by TypeScript emitted code. It does not provide type definitions but is often used alongside @types/node in TypeScript projects to reduce code duplication.
