TFW it was quicker for me whip to this up in #Rust than figure out how to make #Bash not choke to death on spaces in paths :blobFacePalm:

A short Rust snippet that takes in a text file as the first parameter with a newline-delimited list of paths inside it. The program compares the size of each path with a copy of that file stored in the current working directory. If the version in the current directory is larger than the original, an error is printed and the copy is deleted. The code is very unidiomatic and peppered with unwraps :)
