cached copies of crates that you downloaded

Meh, what else is it supposed to do, delete sources all the time? Then people with slow connections will complain.

Also size-wise that's actually not even much (though they could take the care to compress it), what actually takes up space with rust is compile artifacts, per workspace. Have you heard of kondo?

    Idk, maybe you can share the common packages across projects. (That can never go wrong, right? /s)

    Sources are shared, sharing compile-time artefacts is done within workspaces.

    You can globally share compile artifacts by setting a global target directory in the global Cargo config.

    In $HOME/.cargo/config.toml:

    [build]
target-dir = "/path/to/dir"

    The only problems I had when I did it where some cargo plugins and some dependencies with build.rs files that expected the target folder in it's usual location.
