3 Well anyway, It was blazingly fast and astonished by performance. guess I'll never use xargs.

9 Yeah, GNU parallel is a beast when used accordingly.
12 GNU Parallel is awesome

18 With multicore systems everywhere GNU Parallel is a must have tool.

21 My new favourite command line tool is gnu parallel. After knowing it for a while I just recently came back to it for a refactor of a script and now I've changed like 4 different huge scripts into tiny parallel scripts that do their job literally 3 to 10 times faster and just [mind blown]

36 It's really powerful for smallish data processing scripts

45 [socat is] top3 on my "crazy and powerful" list (the other two being
46 gnu parallel and emacs).

50 GNU/Parallel umm... tempting.

53 Ain't that a dirty hack ;-)
56 Not sure if it counts as an "alt" tool but GNU parallel really took my shell scripting game to the next level.
61 I've said it before: The command line program GNU Parallel is a godsend.
62 -- Jo Chr. Oterhals @oterhals
64 IMHO, SQLite and GNU Parallel are among the world's great software.
67 It is, beyond absolutely any doubt whatsoever, the single most
68 important tool I use in making me a productive bioinformatician.

71 It is SUPER easy to speed up jobs from the command line w/ GNU parallel.

77 Amazingly useful script!
80 Y'all need some GNU parallel in your lives
81 -- ChaKu @ChaiLovesChai@twitter
84 There are so many things to love about GNU parallel. You could honestly teach a whole parallel computing course with it and never have to leave it for a real language.
85 -- Aubrey Bailey @DNAvinci@twitter
88 With GNU Parallel you sure can!
89 I like getting things done
91 --Kyle Lady @kylelady@twitter
93 Ok! GNU Parallel is one of the best things out there. Almost as good as vanilla ice cream.

106 GNU parallel is a thing of magic.
107 -- Josh Meyer @joshmeyerphd@twitter
109 I've been using GNU Parallel very much and effectively lately.
110 Such an easy way to get huge speed-ups with my simple bash/Perl/Python
111 programs -- parallelize them!
112 -- Ken Youens-Clark @kycl4rk@twitter
115 export them more easily
120 GNU Parallel is cool.
121 Concurrency, but in the Unix-philosophy style,
122 without the Enterprise wankeriness.

134 limit jobs dynamic'ly
139 touches files on disk no more
143 Always test your script
149 used to be a static string
154 all data to all the jobs
158 Speed is good for you
159 Multi speed is better still
164 many job outputs at once:
168 Pipes are fast and good.
169 Use them in your programs, too.
175 niceload dash dash net
184 Functions, vars and other stuff
189 SQL would help a lot.
193 Dash dash pipe too slow?
194 Dash dash pipepart is your friend.
204 You should then learn dash dash pipe.
209 everything is quick and fast
214 faster run than single jobs
219 Doing nothing. I say no!
224 Multiple can run at once.
229 Idle cores is not your thing.
234 Instant cluster needed now?
238 xargs' space and quote
239 headache causing behaviour.
244 Run jobs using Parallel.
249 Want a simpler syntax now?
253 Shellshock pain hits us.
254 Dash dash env is affected.
259 quoting is still a black art
263 bash for loops vanquished
264 jobs fan out over network
268 code fork headache blues?
269 option P is your new friend
274 inflexible replacements?
275 Use Perl expressions.
