Is it actual?

Noticed that ts-node stopped to use this module for resolving and reading config, is it still actual?

I'm not quite sure what the question is, sorry, but yes, ts-node no longer depends on this module.

So why you decided not to use this module? I mean are you going to support this module, and is it going to work correctly in future?

There's vague differences in the way tsconfig parses JSON vs TypeScript parsing JSON due to the internal TypeScript specific JSON parser. This results in something working with tsc and not working with ts-node. The goal was to always use the tsc version, but old TypeScript versions didn't expose it correctly.

The module should work in the foreseeable future and PRs are welcome, but trying to fix the minor differences and improving the errors to be in line with TypeScript would be a bit of a job. Welcome to accept a PR that does it, but right now TypeScript doesn't match any other JSON parser I know of (and even if it does, that can change later).

Ok, thanks for the elaboration.
