While not rust or for watching specifically, xdg-ninja can help you move files out if $HOME, if it's supported by the offending program.

Neat tool

There is nothing neat about anything xdg.

I really prefer .config and .cache to just having random crap in your home directory. It comes with fallbacks, too, if you want things somewhere else.

xdg dirs are a win. I don't know which parts you might be thinking about, (and quite possibly being quite right about,) but this part, at least, is good.
