Stefan, Adrian,
Quick googling shows that there are several grunt plugins around that
allow to execute tasks simultaneously: grunt-parallel, grunt-
parallelize, grunt-concurrent. The latter looks maintained and
promising in all the ways. As a proof of concept, could someone try to
run, say, two HTTP servers under Grunt? You're guys are much more
experienced in Grunt than me, so it will take significantly less time
:) If it works, that would mean we already have a mechanism to run
QxCompiler's continuous recompiler job with HTTP server in a single
Grunt instance.
