Interpret allows you to load JavaScript modules with varying file extensions that might require pre-processing. It automatically detects and applies the necessary transformations based on file extension or shebang line. This enables seamless usage of languages like CoffeeScript, TypeScript, or Babel directly within your Node.js projects without needing explicit require statements. It simplifies module loading and enhances project organization.
