         | Super interesting project! I have zero experience writing
         | Postgres extensions, but I was browsing a blog post about an
         | extension the other day. I was curious what ones workflow
         | looked like while developing a PG extension. From the little I
         | read, it looked like you would have to recompile postgres,
         | including your extension, then enable it just to run it. Seems
         | like a very long feedback loop. Was I missing something?

           | You don't need to recompile it actually! It's enough to
           | compile your extension and Postgres can then dynamically link
           | to it, which makes for a perfectly good feedback loop. pgfdb
           | is built with pgrx:
           | https://github.com/pgcentralfoundation/pgrx, which is a
           | framework for building Postgres extensions in Rust that
           | handles all the compiling and linking for you. Highly
           | recommend that if you want to try writing extensions and are
           | also a fan of Rust!
