What other tools do you use to help you do GIS?
Whiteboxtools. Very fast and powerful. Works nice for hydrology and LiDAR. Good interface to Python as well.

What CLI tool will blow your mind? (written in rust)
WhiteboxTools (https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/) is a CLI tool that is about 500,000 lines of Rust (https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools) and is used for geospatial analysis in all kinds of industries. Most people use one of the many front-ends for it though (e.g. the QGIS plugin), so as to avoid the CLI, but at the most basic level, it's just a CLI. (Note, I'm the author of this tool, and so a little biased.)

WhiteboxTools v2.1 now released
We are pleased to announce the release of WhiteboxTools Open-Core v2.1 today. WhiteboxTools is an open-source platform for advanced geospatial analysis, and is used for GIS, remote sensing, lidar, hydrology, geomorphology, and many other data processing areas. This release includes new functionality and enhancements, including new tools for the calculation of various surface curvatures, multi-scale land surface parameter calculation, and the popular Geomorphons landform classification method. You may download the WhiteboxTools open-core here. Updated tool description files for the QGIS front-end, which include all of the new tools featured in this release, are available from here (see bottom of page). For more information about usage, please see the user manual.

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.
