nx tests with node's native built-in test runner

[davidfiala]

Is there a direct path forward to using node's builtin native test-runner with NX with typescript rather than jest?

The node v23.x series has gotten considerably better and worth considering for developers wanting to minimize their ts-jest configurations and mental overhead. node --enable-source-maps --import tsx --test './src/**/*.test.ts for non-nx projects works great, and it made me wonder: can I simplify my NX projects and strip out jest/ts-jest easily? Would I basically just need to copy the rules that @nx/jest sets up and add them my own plugin?

Is there any interest/roadmap from within NX to add native node test runners? I can imagine with all the hype around deno, bun, etc, that it would be understandable if people didn't want to invest in a runtime-specific test integration.
