When I first connect my Peer to the Transactor, about 2GB of strings are stored in memory. The database has a number of items floating around that are no longer referenced anywhere. If I db.fn/retractEntity this items, will that reduce the amount of data cached?

Is there a reason a Long is not coerced to a Double when transacting to Datomic? Seems like that would make working with other languages a bit easier (i.e. JS).
