`require()` of malformed script uncatchably crashes the process about tsx HOT 6 CLOSED

Also hitting this as well. In dev mode I have a malformed .tsx file and it causes the whole process to die. I was hoping to just catch the error and print the error and have it retry next run.

Perhaps nodemon might help here..

Additional info: This issue does indeed kill the process, by the way. For example, if you add a setInterval to the top of load.mjs:

import module from 'node:module';

// Timer to keep the process allive
setInterval(() => console.log(Date.now()), 1000);

console.log('STARTING ...\n');

...

... you'll see the process exits under tsx before the timer even has a chance to fire. Whereas in node it will happily chug right along logging once/second.

Yep, node.js dynamic import or require can be caught, but tsx cannot.

try {
  const x = await import(`./file-with-syntax-error.js`);
  console.log(x);
} catch (e) {
  console.log(`caught error in try/catch block`);
  console.error(e);
}

Change the .js file with a .ts and you'll see the issue.

Right now my whole dev experience breaks with a syntax error and I have to a non-ignored file and save it to restart the process.
