Maintainer's notes:
Related issues:
For Linux-like systems, we should be using XDG. See arch's wiki for a non-exhaustive list of software with varying degrees of compliance.
For Windows, everything should go in ~/appdata/locallow or ~/appdata/local,since ~/.cargo is just a cache, AFAICT. This is
FOLDERID_LocalAppDataforSHGetKnownFolderPath,CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATAforSHGetFolderPath, and%LOCALAPPDATA%in the environment.
