I just uploaded first release of "run-many" tool that is standalone implementation of colored interleaved output like "docker-compose up" or "devenv up". If you never worked with these tools, please see asciinema:

Other day I was evaluating "devenv" project if it can make my life better. Most of its selling points are "you can harness some power of Nix even if don't know Nix", which is extremely unconvincing.
But "devenv up" does provide extra value. It not just uses Nix to build scripts that start servers, it also provides means to start them all in one command and not have their output interleaved into complete mess. The only other tool I know that can do the same is "docker-compose", which is even bigger kitchen sink, so I decided to create unix-way implementation of this idea.
