Creating a Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper

I wince a little whenever I see an introductory tutorial for Postgres extensions using C. pgx allows you to write Rust, and has lots of features to make your code type safe https://github.com/zombodb/pgx

I wince a little when someone suggests to throw away battle-tested solutions written in C just because someone wrote and unproven alternative in Rust.

Yeah, pgx is quite impressive and is a great set of bindings with very accessible examples, etc. Definitely something to be aware of for people that prefer building things in Rust. Thanks for pointing it out here.
