rust-typed-builder VS diesel

derive_builder works in runtime - you have to unwrap built result. And code editors cannot use auto-import builder-types. That's why I switched to [typed-builder|https://github.com/idanarye/rust-typed-builder] which looks similar to builder-pattern but more popular.

I'm the author of the typed-builder crate (and a couple of other crates in a similar position). The name of the crate's repository on GitHub is rust-typed-builder. Does the new trademark policy mean I have to change the repository's name to typed-builder-rs or typed-builder.rs or something similar, or am I in the clear because only the repository name is has the word "rust" in it and the crate itself is only named "typed-builder"?

There are also crates which can do that for you (e.g. https://github.com/idanarye/rust-typed-builder).

I can open a PR if desired but typed-builder is a big example for me of where this would be super useful. It's a good example of using traits/type safety for compile-time guarantees but the error messages are really subpar compared to the standard Rust experience, so feels like a very arbitrary compromise on Rust's strengths.

Yes! The inspiration came from: * rust-typed-builder which is the struct equivalent of this crate. * https://users.rust-lang.org/t/typesafe-builder-design/58784

Both seem nice. However, both of them rely very heavily on prepared statements. Unfortunately, using prepared statements is a no-go when you use connection poolers like pgbouncer, or in my case AWS RDS proxy. A discussion in Diesel indicates that disel is not going to provide any support for disabling prepared stements (https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/discussions/3575), and a discussion on sqlx hints that disabling prepared statements is possible, but I haven't found any documentation or examples for it.

In addition we are experimenting with prebuild versions of diesel-cli that can be installed directly. We have a set of prebuilt binaries here. We are interested in feedback about how the provided binaries work on your platform.

First of all thanks for making this great tool. As it happens I currently toy around with using it for diesel-cli releases. See the WIP PR here. I think diesel-cli is a good example of a tool that depends on system libraries as it needs to link native database drivers, so this new release is welcome. Defining the dependencies seems to allow easily building things on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-apple-darwin. It seems to pick up everything in the right way there.

I did look at mysql initially. Then I started checking other crates. Diesel is an Object Relation Model (ORM), I'm not yet keen on taking on the complication of learning ORM, I give this crate a pass in the meantime.

I would recommend people look at diesel from Rust for how nice it could be. https://diesel.rs/ Look at the complex queries example. So much more readable and easier to understand.

Most wanted missing features in diesel

There are two problems with using Rust for web servers:

1. The only production-ready Rust web servers require writing async request handlers. Async Rust is not fun.

2. The only good Postgres client library is async: https://crates.io/crates/sqlx

I'm trying to remedy the first problem with https://crates.io/crates/servlin .

Solving the second problem will be another project. I hope someone else does it. There is https://crates.io/crates/diesel but it has the same problem as async Rust: incomprehensible compiler errors.
