Musing: sometimes I wish file systems & databases were the unified. I'm imaging just a single fast db engine sitting on my storage—and your traditional file system structure would just be tables in there. I kinda just treat SQLite like that, but it's not as transparently optimized as it could be for large files. Why? I don't want to mentally jump around technologies. I want to query my FS like a DB, and I want to store files in my DB like a FS. The reality is though that there isn't a one size fits all DB that exists.

And more on topic: tokio-uring is really fast [1], and I'm really loving tokio in general.
