I know with xtdb you have to explicitly await a transaction in order for you to be able to read your writes.

But now i'm uncertain about how you are able to read your writes in Datomic - getting "ok" back from the transactor i don't think implies that your next read from storage will have the transaction present

or if it does, i don't understand how

The result of a transaction returns the :db-after which has processed your transaction.

from an api standpoint, yes that makes sense

but when you actually go to perform a query on db-after, how do you know that the node you talk to will have the data?

There is a separate api function d/sync for cross-node operations

I think I need to invent some words to properly convey why i hate this writing style
