So for example:

node --experimental-strip-types ./src/example.ts

It will now be:

node ./src/example.ts

By default Node.js will execute only files that contain no TypeScript features that require transformation, such as enums or namespaces.

There is a further switch, not yet switched on by default, that performs these transformations.
