Exploring the problem of faster Cargo Docker builds

This is the most popular issue on the Cargo repository. The issue revolves around the fact that currently, it is not trivial to define Dockerfiles for Cargo projects that would skip rebuilding dependencies after any source code change. This means that each Docker build of a Cargo project can be quite slow and Docker layer caching cannot be used to its full effect, unlike with some other builds systems, e.g. npm (NodeJS), pip (Python) or gem (Ruby), where it's quite straightforward.

I created this terrible github workflow to build a dockerfile with Swatinem's rust-cache, and then copy it into the dockerfile already built. This is incredibly error prone. I would love something built-in.
