Issues

• Rust is a very slow to write in language
  • But a very correct language!
• Steep learning curve
• Integrating with existing JS libraries is a bit of a pain
• Async traits have caveats (for library developers mostly)
• Cannot use pooled connections with Neon (issue in sqlx, just use normal connections rather than Neon's connection pooling)
