Rust

Postgres and Rust go together like peanut butter and chocolate, or ice-cream and root beer, or Batman and Robin, or mice and cheese, or sand on a beach, or crabs and elephants! Err, maybe scratch that last one.

Well regardless, there’s a whole lot of Rust going on in the Postgres world these days, especially thanks to contributions from the PGRX project. As a relative novice to Rust, I figured it was time to see what all the fuss was about and tentatively dip a foot into those turbulent and unforgiving waters.
