Support ES2023 and ES2024 targets when using SWC

Search Terms

• swc
• ES2024
• ES2023

Expected Behavior

• SWC since version 1.8.0 (2024-11-04) supports ES2023 and ES2024
• Once using ts-node with swc having a target equals to ES2023 or ES2024 the application should execute correctly

Actual Behavior

• The application fails with error:

return bindings.transformSync(isModule ? JSON.stringify(src) : src, isModule, toBuffer(newOptions));
                ^
Error:   x jsc.target should be es5 or upper to use getter / setter

Steps to reproduce the problem

In a project using ts-node with swc set the target to ES2023 or ES2024 and it will fail. Once you set the target as ES2022 the project work as expected.

Minimal reproduction

Same as above

Specifications

• node version: 22.15.0

• Operating system and version:
• If Windows, are you using WSL or WSL2?:

@cspotcode I've opened a PR resolving this issue, but I would also like to propose that instead of automatically downgrading the target to ES3 in this line we should raise an exception letting the user know that the specified target is not currently supported.

it seems that ts-node have no activity over 1year. maybe we need to switch it to swc
