Unfortunately Node still can't do something like this out of the box (AFAIK at least):
import { Bla } from "npm:bla@^5";
Such direct imports are basically the killer feature of Deno for simple standalone tooling scripts in otherwise non-JS/TS projects, e.g. it made TS a perfect replacement for Python even without a "batteries included" standard library.
Deno also has a builtin TS type checker, linter, formatter, test runner with coverage support, package manager, language server etc etc... In node these are all separate (and often 3rd-party) tools.
