Indeed, I allow no executables in /bin /usr/bin unless put there by the
system package manager. This is just being sensible. However I have a
~/Built hierarchy in which I put everything I build. With SCons, CMake,
Autotools, etc. it is trivially easy to specify a destination location
for installation. Go makes things a bit awkward, but their solution is
cross-platform and so has some backing and rationale. Cargo doesn't
have an install per se, but I bet there is a plugin for that.
