So then where is the open source version / extension to Postgres?
How about this - I'll give you $1000 if you can give me a seamless extension on top of Postgres that has most of the functionality of Datomic.
Since it is trivial it is easy money for you.
- skrebbel 9y agoGGP talked about building a CRUD app with "unparalleled productivity". That's where the burden of proof is, not to the GP who is skeptical about that claim.
- hellofunk 9y agoYou are asking for evidence of disproof. That is a logical paradox, and frequently used as an argument by extremist politicians. Where is the evidence that you do not [insert anything here]? That's a slippery slope of challenge.

- VLM 9y ago"So then where is the open source version / extension to Postgres?" As a concrete example I like the way in the datomic schema you can eliminate bridge tables for many-many relationships using :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many and then you store or get a vector. There should be a way to have a super-SQL middleware compatible with any language bindings including a bare CLI that eats "SQL plus some cardinality" and behind the scenes implements the bridge table manipulations. Don't repeat yourself and all that, and many/many tables are kinda repetitive. There doesn't seem to be anything remotely like that out there.
