Deploy Deno static site
Is there a way to deploy a site that uses Deno to build?
I'm using the the Deno Lume static site generator, and I don't see it was one of the build configurations, and I don't see Deno listed as a supported tool here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/language-support-and-tools/

Cloudflare Pages’ build environment has broad support for a variety of languages, such as Ruby, Node.js, Python, PHP, and Go.

You'd have to install Deno as part of your build command
Okay, that seems like it should be straightforward enough using a command like:
It would be slow and cost time to do so. Is it possible to cache the installation like caching npm pacakges?
it's pretty fast to install deno through a build script but it's annoying, yeah. i know cloudflare supports caching these days (https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/configuration/build-caching/#frameworks) so assuming we were able to pull deno dependencies to a cached directory that would speed things up nicely most likely
in my case (a site with 425 pages) it spends 5 seconds on dependencies alone out of 1.5 minute total. that's not bad but at the same time it's nice to avoid the cost if possible
@leigh @bebraw I created a ticket around this in case you still see the value in supporting Deno as part of the Pages build ecosystem:
