A short short story about how I'm an idiot and @datomic_team is an incredible piece of tech: A week ago I accidentally reset the value of a column for all rows in the table.* Big oopsie. imaidiot.

* I'm translating here for all the folks more familiar with SQL. Datomic doesn't have tables or columns, but the idea is the same for this story.

@ITBeHa @rplevy @hendekahedron Well, it's difficult to discuss tech in depth on twitter (hence my previous terse answer), but I will try. @ITBeHa @rplevy @hendekahedron One clear tradeoff is transaction isolation.

If you've ever had a real need for consistency, you've read about postgres transaction isolation.

You don't even ASK in datomic. You just move on with your life.
