The thing is, you don't need to do this with Rust as far as I can tell. There may be some benefits, but ultimately your project can easily specify its own compiler version, its own target directory (the default is per-project), etc. There are some shared resources like caches, which you can split if you want to.
I can see why you'd still do this - but, the main reason would be... if you have dependencies on C/C++.
