SQLx is great, but I really wish they had a non-async interface. I had to switch a project from sqlx to rusqlite seemingly just due to the overhead of the async machinery. Saw a 20x latency reduction that I narrowed down to "probably async" (sort of hard to tell, I find it very difficult to do perf analysis of async code). I try to avoid discussing async so as to not come off as a frothing-at-the-mouth-chest-thumping-luddite but honestly, if sqlx had a non-async interface I'd be very happy to accept the "you don't need to use it" argument. its the only place where I don't feel like I really have a choice.
