    The API looks really nice! What is your vision for the project? How is it going to compare to (walkdir)[https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir] performance and feature-wise?

    > I believe that GNU find is slow because it is specifically written to allow arbitrary filesystem depth as opposed to "open file descriptor limit-limited depth".

    I haven't benchmarked find specifically, but I believe the most common Rust library for the purpose, walkdir[1], also allows arbitrary file system recursion depth, and is extremely fast. It was fairly close to some "naive" limited depth code I wrote in C for the same purpose.

    I'd be curious to see benchmarks of whether this actually makes a difference.

    It relies pretty heavily on the walkdir library from burntsushi so kudos to them!

    Although, I don't think FileType is the only problem. There's also Metadata, which I also had to re-roll: https://github.com/BurntSushi/walkdir/blob/1d7293a5a1ef548ce587a0b08abce5f21571a100/src/os/unix/stat.rs
