I haven't tried but I bet it does! Do you see any errors or is anything not working? We don't have deno 1 on the website because there were some compat issues but I imagine are gone with deno2 @m if this works let me know and I'll add it to our docs!

Deno 2 is backwards compatible with Node and npm so i guess it'll run

@ballingt maybe you can shed some light. I tried setting up a new project from scratch using deno (and tanstack start, clerk, but those aren't super-relevant). 
$ cat deno.json 
{

    "dev": "vinxi dev",
    "build": "vinxi build",

You can get pretty far, but convex dev wants to see convex in the dependencies list of a package.json. So if I understand, I have to keep a package.json just for building the convex functions. Any way to do the function builds more directly with deno tasks? ^ I can run deno task convex:dev, if the package.json is setup, though I haven't checked if the dependency list of package.json is actually used over the imports list in deno.json.
