Clean mount lists in Linux
Also `dua`[0] is a great `du` replacement which is must faster on modern NVMe drives. Also has an interactive mode `dua i` which I'd frame as a `ncdu` replacement.

Erdtree v1.4.1 - the love child of `tree` and `du`, now with support for a configuration file to override defaults and more
Yeah erdtree won't scratch that itch if you prefer interactive apps. I personally wanted something to just give me quick visual info without spawning an entire terminal UI and learning its quirks. But if you're an ncdu person and are in the mood for a modern alternative I'd recommend checking out Dua

erdtree v1.2.0, a modern multi-threaded alternative to `du` and `tree` now with support for globbing, icons, and more
Thank you! And totally understandable. erdtree won't scratch that itch for folks who have a penchant for interactive terminal apps. As I mentioned in another thread I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the original tree program so I wanted to keep the spirit of the thing. If you want a more modern version of ncdu perhaps you might like dua!

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Another one I used for years until I found dua-cli. It can be run as a TUI with dua -i for a ncdu like interface.

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.
