Cargo Clean All - A cargo plugin to clean all your projects at once with filters
I use https://github.com/holmgr/cargo-sweep which can keep files from the current compiler version, but delete files from earlier compilers that won't ever be used again.

How is this different from https://github.com/holmgr/cargo-sweep ?

Is this normal? Giant debug folder
I like https://github.com/holmgr/cargo-sweep to keep the size of /target from unbounded growth without fully losing the useful portion of the cache. It's the same outcome as Cargo clean after a reboot but I recently also started using a ramdisk with CARGO_TARGET_DIR. Much easier to do on Linux.

Blog Post: Fast Rust Builds
cargo-sweep can do this kind of garbage collection along a few axes - rustc version, file age, was or wasn't used during recent build. Works great on Linux. I've not gotten it working reliably for -s/-f on MacOS+APFS, but for the CI use case it should be a nice improvement.

Deciding between Rust or Go for desktop applications
Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

Rust vs Go Issue
The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

Thank you DaisyDisk!
The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

Sloth – A Mac app that shows all open files, directories, sockets, etc.
Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.
