concurrent deno tasks

I've got two servers I need to run as part of my app when in development - a vite server and an express server. Is it possible to run two tasks concurrently? I've used a package "concurrently" in the past, many others use npm-run-all. Currently using turborepo to run everything, but i've not yet dove into deno + monorepo support just yet so Im not worried about that

Hey @wesbos, there you go:

// a.js
setInterval(() => console.log("Hello from deno task a"), 500);

// a.js
setInterval(() => console.log("Hello from deno task a"), 500);

// b.js
setInterval(() => console.log("Hello from deno task b"), 1000);

// b.js
setInterval(() => console.log("Hello from deno task b"), 1000);

{
  "tasks": {
    "a": "deno a.js",
    "b": "deno b.js",
    "concurrent": "deno task a & deno task b"
  }
}

{
  "tasks": {
    "a": "deno a.js",
    "b": "deno b.js",
    "concurrent": "deno task a & deno task b"
  }
}
