Postgres + Rust is one of the most exciting intersections of tech I've seen in a while.
There's external tooling like his project, but postgres extensions in Rust are exciting.
Full extensions via pgrx have been cool to see, but plrust + pg_tle is also starting to show up.
If you aren't familiar with TLE (Trusted Language Extensions), it is a postgres extension from AWS that created some privileged interfaces for procedural languages (used for user-defined functions) to do some extra stuff. Right now it's mostly auth-related hooks but my hope is that it expands in the future.
Plrust is a procedural language extension for Rust, allowing user defined functions written in Rust.
The combination of those two could open up a world of rich extensions usable in managed hosted environments like RDS.
