Excited about unwinding becoming stable. I am hacking on postgres-extension.rs, which allows writing postgres extensions in rust. This will mean that postgres could call into rust code, then rust could call back into postgres code, and that postgres code could throw an error, and rust could safely unwind and re-throw. Cool!!
- greatidea 10y agoNot yet a Rust programmer but Rust does look like an excellent language for PostgreSQL extensions.
- sbuttgereit 10y agoVery much pleased to see you working on this. I've been thinking that Rust would make an excellent language for those of us that want to get a bit closer to C-like backed functions and such, but aren't really C programmers. While Rust has it's own learning curve to be sure and isn't magic, the compiler can save those of us familiar with less systemy languages from mistakes we wouldn't otherwise be sensitive to.
