Announcing crun

I've long liked concurrently, a node program that runs multiple programs concurrently, interleaves their output, and adds prefixes telling you which program wrote the output.

I use it for running web sites in development, where for example you might want to run your task engine, a web server, and a development node server at the same time.

The annoying thing about it has always been that it's a node program - no stress if you're already in the node ecosystem but for other programs it can be annoying.

So, I created crun, a port of concurrently to rust. Currently it stands at only 1.5 megabytes, and you can install it with cargo or homebrew.

If you've used concurrently or have wanted to, give it a shot! File an issue if it doesn't work for you, or you have ideas for improvement.
