Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories

1. Cargo

   1 270 13,032 10.0 Rust

   The Rust package manager

   

   But in the future, Cargo might want more directories for different purposes: - data (for installing other stuff like manpages, see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/2729) - state (for storing CLI history or maintaining internal state between runs for some novel features)

   As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.
