Datomic transactions are not “operations to perform”, they are a set of novel facts to incorporate at a point in time.
Just like a git commit describes a set of modifications, do you or should you want to care about which order or how the adds, updates, and deletes occur in a single git commit? OMG no, that sounds awful.
The really unusual thing is that developers expect intra-transaction ordering to be a thing they accept from any other database. OMG, that sounds awful, how do you live like that.
