My argument is that the program logic gets really complex, really
fast if you are doing anything complex using Database. On the other
hand, if your logic and SQL needs are really simple, you might as
well use the DatabaseSync interface and pay the price of marshaling
and unmarshaling, which may not be that much.
Aaron showed that it's pretty complex to implement the marshalling in
a general way on top of Workers and a synchronous interface.
Alternatively, perhaps, we should consider doing something in
WebWorkers to deal with the overhead of sharing JavaScript objects
across VMs.
That would lead to far greater complexity for both implementations and
content authors than the complexity saved by removing the async
interface.
