TypeScript (.ts) and ESM (.mjs) config file support

[halvardssm]

Hi! I am adopting Remix into my new app, but I was wondering if it would be possible to support the remix config file written in TypeScript or ESM?

The remix.config file only supports JS and CommonJS right now, it’s directly required by the CLI I believe.

There was a few discussions before about adding TS support, but team decided to don’t go that way (I don’t remember the reason but you could search in the closed issues and PRs),.

You can always create a pre-build step to compile the .ts/.mjs file to .js file.

It's such a small file and once you set the config, you rarely touch it again. So I'm not sure it's worth the effort.
