Datomic is a tragically unoptimizable black box, one that spills candied joys when you start using it, gradually transitioning to the unspeakable horrors of Pynchon's "The Disgusting English Candy Drill".

IMO the real tragedy is that Datomic predated the open-source-but-you-can't-host-it-or-otherwise-operate-it-for-profit licenses that have proliferated recently.

If I ever get the time, I'll write a compiler. And if I have time left over on sabbatical, I'll reimplement Datomic as a Postgres extension (goddamnit).
