Description
Concurrently is a great tool, and significantly simpler and easier to understand than its closest competitor in the unix world, GNU parallel. It can also do a few powerful things that gnu parallel simply cannot. I would love to be able to apt-get install concurrently without having to install node first. Would it be possible to bundle/build this so people can run apt-get install concurrently, and just install it as a general utility outside of the node/npm ecosystem?
Use case: Make concurrently installable on linux systems without requiring node.
