xargs string concatination
I'm builing a litte wrapper for diskus. I want find files or folders using find and then calculate their size; sort it by size and pass it to fzf. I was trying to do that using xargs. The problem is: diskus only prints the file size. What I want is the file size next to the file name. xargs is not mandatory, but I'm looking for the fastest possible solution for this kind of task. This is what I have:

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.
