Last time I messed with Tauri my bin folder in my code/building directory ballooned to 10 gigs. If the final product is “lightweight” the development process surely is not.
That’s just Rust in general. But what you lose in disk space you gain considerably in optimized executables. The tradeoff is well worth it.
Cargo's cache is ridiculously massive (half of which is debug info: zero-cost abstractions have full-cost debug metadata), but you can delete it after building.
There's new-ish build.build-dir setting that lets you redirect Cargo's temp junk to a standard system temp/cache directory instead of polluting your dev dir.
