You're right on that front.

I currently wouldn't recommend any Rust ORM, Diesel included. They're just not quite ready for prime time.

If you're not one to shy away from raw SQL, then SQLx is rock-solid. I actually prefer it over ORMs in general. It's type-checked at runtime or compile time against your schema, no matter how complex the query gets. It manages to do this with an incredibly simple design.

It's like an even nicer version of Java's popular jOOQ framework, which I always felt was incredibly ugly.

SQLx might be my very favorite SQL library of any language.
