Croc: Securely transfer files and folders between two computers
Sounds like Magic Wormhole (https://magic-wormhole.io/). The readme acknowledges Warner at the end.
Key differences seem to be resumable transfers and proxy support.
Another is a single binary, whereas MW is in Python, but there’s now https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs
I appreciate that the project acknowledges its inspiration. I wish it were more common for projects to provide detailed comparisons with similar ones for people trying to choose.

My negative views on Rust (2023)
I saw some time back that a productionalized attempt came out: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs
The one I mentioned was much more primitive, meant as a demo (you can look at the branches for different approaches): https://github.com/estebank/rusticwormhole

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
> Downloading 3GB of dependencies is not a thing that happens in the Rust ecosystem. Reality is orders of magnitude smaller than that.
Assuming they're talking about the built size of dependencies that are left lying around after cargo builds a binary, they're really not exaggerating by much. I have no difficulty of believing that there are Rust projects that leave 3GB+ of dependency bloat on your file system after you build them.
To take the last Rust project I built, magic-wormhole.rs [1], the source code I downloaded from Github was 1.6 MB. After running `cargo build --release`, the build directory is now 618 MB and there's another 179 MB in ~/.cargo, for a total of 800 MB used.
All this to build a little command line program that sends and receives files over the network over a simple protocol (build size 14 MB). God forbid I build something actually complicated written in Rust, like a text editor.

qft: A tool to quickly transfer files over a holepunched P2P connection
This is cool but it really should be using TCP. (You can do holepunching with TCP, check out https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs/blob/master/src/transit.rs)
