There are plenty of good tools for load testing such as JMeter, Minigun, and more - but they all have their own set of options to learn. I built this one to support a simpler workflow where you just paste your curl request (or other cli command) after your `spam` config. literally just:

spam -r 2 -- curl www.google.com

It's pretty barebones but I'm 100% going to use it in my day to day - figured I'd share it here if it helps anyone else!

This is a good idea. I was going to say "just use apache bench or ...", but you're right, then I need to learn both ab and curl. For basic load testing, this looks like an easy drop-in.
