What does go mod download do? cargo fetch/cargo vendor don't do the trick?

cargo fetch gets most of the way there. But you would need to build them as well to actually get good performance.

This is the upstream issue in question: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/2644

Cargo fetch and/or cargo-chef kind of does these things, but not in a super intuitive and easy to use way.
