GNU Parallel is also based on perl, so the footprint is quite large.

GNU xargs implements limited parallelization, and is compiled C. This functionality is present within busybox, including the Windows version.

GNU Parallel will have much greater functionality, but it will not reach as far as xargs.

There have been multiple ports already, I believe.

meanwhile, python DASK is very well funded to be cloud-native, and also local.. however it relies on a python runtime, so you know .. also not sure about the DASK license terms
