heh. when i read the title it suggested completely different tangent.. - that pure technical stuff is always eventualy consistent with business needs/goals. Sometimes very close (success). Sometimes very perpendicular (failure).
Nevermind, bi(tri)-temporality is amazing concept (together with "relations Are Objects too" someone mentioned long time ago... ; Back in the days ~2006-7 i wrote a library [1] to allow for it over plain SQLalchemy.. in a bigger project that did not see light. Heh, recently i made a wrapper for xtdb for python [2].. for another project which may or may not happen too).
But it is very difficult to grasp for common programmers, let alone common people. (Actualy, similar to time jitter, and other dimensional inconsistencies. wow-and-flutter). People like to think proceduraly i.e. in sequence..
Now, 20y later, temporality of things should be default way of handling data - not a quirky write-your-own-wrongly or use whatever weird extension..
have fun
