I love the fact that they have their own native implementations of clients for mysql, postgres and mongo.

In the Java world people just use jdbc and wrap it with a threadpool and expose it as "async", but in rust it is truly async down to the system call.




There are several async drivers for Java, the most prominent probably https://vertx.io/docs/#data_access.

Go, Python, C# have native implementations as well, e.g. the de facto standard Postgres driver for Go (which is by the way super fast), https://github.com/JackC/pgx
