@bkamphaus and friends: is Datomic ‘complete’? Last major feature release was Jan last year, with 0.9.5130. Is anything new going to be added/updated?

Alex Miller (Clojure team)13:03:43

I don't think anyone believes Datomic is "complete" :)

Ben Kamphaus13:03:32

Yes, new Datomic things are coming.

Ben Kamphaus13:03:22

As usual, though, we follow the first rule of Datomic future club.

robert-stuttaford13:03:01

of course. the key disadvantage to that rule is that it doesn’t allow for letting non-members knowing whether the club is still meeting at all, or not simple_smile

Hey, kind of a philosophical question, but datomic’s pricing model seems a little hostile to a microservices architecture, since every new microservice peer I add winds up counting as a CPU. I can sort of shield the datomic bits behind a bespoke API or the REST API, but then I’m losing a lot of the benefits its distributed architecture, eg the caching. Just curious if this is something the datomic team has thought about or has recommendations about...

@timgilbert: as a datapoint - we had a similar question and even had a call with Datomic people ~9 months ago. They didn't offer any alternative licencing models at the time.

Is it possible to call d/pull on a collection? Instead of

(map #(d/pull db pull-exp %) eids)
