Using libraries we already don't have to write cleanup code. What does the new keyword add that we can't already do? https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#poolque

  From what I can tell from that documentation, you do still have to remember to call `client.release()`. There's even a big warning saying "You must release a client when you are finished with it." Presumably you would want to wrap that in a try/finally so that you don't accidentally not release the client if there is an exception. You would go from: const client = await pool.connect() try { // Do stuff. Possibly throw. } finally { client.release() } to await using client = pool.connect() // Do stuff. Possibly throw.

    I linked the wrong example. This is the one without having to specifically call release. https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#poolquery https://node-postgres.com/apis/pool#poolquery
