      …but it’s Rust!

      Really wish the rusticles out there realised that the language is not a feature for user-space apps. Nobody cares if their disk utilisation tool is in Rust. All that matters is that gives useful information in a timely fashion.

        Wrong. You don’t care. There are people who care. Not every information must meet your personal needs in order to be mentioned in the title. Edit: Also we are in a programming community, so this makes you double wrong.

    Better? This is absolutely awful if you have more than a handful of directories and files. It just shows the top directories and excludes everything that doesn’t fit. Directory names are truncated if they don’t fit so it’s difficult to know what “ti[…]e/” is… And you get this weird XXXXX lump for small files.

    gdu is a slightly “nicer” looking ncdu and much faster than this.
