Tweaked version of node-dev that uses ts-node under the hood.
It restarts target node process when any of required files changes (as
standard node-dev) but shares Typescript compilation process between restarts.
This significantly increases speed of restarting comparing to node-dev -r
ts-node/register ..., nodemon -x ts-node ... variations because there is no
need to instantiate ts-node compilation each time.
So you just combine node-dev and ts-node options (see docs of those packages):
tsnd --respawn server.ts
--exit-child - Adds 'SIGTERM' exit handler in a child process.
