Can't start a REPL

[skrat]

Just when I was thinking TS/node ecosystem isn't too bad, this happened. I had a sudden need for a REPL, as I am used to it from Python:

~/W/r/rwdom/domlib master• ↑2 [1] yarn run ts-node --files --esm -T
yarn run v1.22.19
$ /home/skrat/Workspace/xxx/yyy/node_modules/.bin/ts-node --files --esm -T
> import { Face } from 'src/rw/dom/model/document';
/home/skrat/Workspace/xxx/yyy/domlib/<repl>.ts:2
export {};
^^^^^^

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'
> Face
/home/skrat/Workspace/xxx/yyy/domlib/<repl>.ts:1
import { Face } from 'src/rw/dom/model/document';
^^^^^^

Uncaught:
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement inside the Node.js REPL, alternatively use dynamic import

I feel like a tried a bunch of related CLI flags, various combinations of those, various forms of import etc. all failing on me. What is the problem?
