I’ve noticed some of my colleagues writing {:unique/id “some-val”} where I would expect to see a lookup ref i.e. vector. Is this fine/not problematic?

@uwo what you've seen was probably a map form inside a transaction (http://docs.datomic.com/transactions.html)

the advantage of using those compared to lookup refs is that the target entity does not need to exist yet.
