Hi, I am by no way a Rust programmer, but I have definitely come to appreciate how great it can be. We have all heard about tools like ruff and now uv that are incredibly performant for Python users. I recently had to index many TBs of data, and someone recommended me dust (du + rust) and that was a life savior. I was using LF as a terminal file manager, but now I just heard of yazi

Do you have other examples of common CLI tools, principally for UNIX, that have a greatly improved version in Rust that would gain to be known?
