Is there a Mac app that will allow me to recursively go through thousands of folders, calculate the total folder size, then compare against all other folder sizes, and if the size is identical, delete the newer one?
rdfind is available for macOS; I've been using it on linux: https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind

Deduplication on EXT4
You can use rdfind to find all duplicates in your experiments dir and replace files with hardlinks. This way files will occupy disk space only once and all inode references will be to the same disk location.
- How do I show non-duplicate files across 2 drives?

Pip and cargo are not the same
I use rdfind to deal with this: https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind

fdupes: Identify or Delete Duplicate Files
fdupes is really nice and fast, but (as far as I remember) it was lacking two features that I needed for my use case, which were 1°/ list duplicate dirs (without listing all of the duplicate sub-contents), and 2°/ being able to identify that all the contents in one dir would be included in another part of the FS (regardless of files/dir structures), which is particularly useful when you have a bigmess/ directory that you progressively sort-out in a clean/ directory. Said differently : fdupes helps to regain space but was not able to help me much to cleanup a messy drive...
This is why I wrote https://github.com/karteum/kindfs (which indexes the fs into an sqlite DB and then enables various ways to process it).
