> I realize it adds an additional layer abstraction which one could use to build additional functionalities on top This is what got my attention about it - it provides a link that makes it more natural to play with SQL from Rust. You get some protection from typos and type errors, and you get the benefit of working with native types. I'd feel more confident working in this environment for those reasons than I would working with string-based SQL directly in my program. As for the incompleteness issues, it's still young and that seems like a solvable problem to me.
