Okay so after a couple weeks of and off and on poking at "what is the best way to access a database from Rust?", I think I've come to the conclusion the best way is to plug sea-query into sqlx.

Okay so after a couple weeks of and off and on poking at "what is the best way to access a database from Rust?", I think I've come to the conclusion the best way is to plug sea-query into sqlx. But instead of doing this I am continuing to use Diesel. 🤔

Maybe I would be happier if instead of trying all these libraries I had just used SQLite direct, but for whatever reason I have a lingering mistrust of SQLite. It's just so… lite

Also I am unclear if I am violating the project code of conduct by being a transsexual atheist. This is not a concern I have to worry about with most open source projects

[nelson@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@mcc whos going to enforce that

are they going to blast your door open and make you read the bible 😭

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@nelson Well, they might deny my patches, except apparently SQLite doesn't accept patches, so that seems to be moot

[darius@friend.camp]

@mcc the problem with SQLite is it's extremely good software that I am always happy to use, made by a person who possibly does not want me to use it

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@mcc it's ok, the enforcement mechanism can only hurt you if you believe it exists

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@mcc also they don't actually take outside contributions, at least not code

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@darius @mcc I don't get the issue here. Doesn't that just add an extra perk to using it, with the slap in the face to the author?
