I'm sure he's aware of it, but I doubt he took it incredibly seriously unless he has a very specific strategy in mind. He's explicitly avoiding the Dynamo model for a lot of reasons.
The mixture of composite types and mutation-centric semantics have boxed Redis in a bit, although I love using it.
Hickey was probably right. Pity Datomic is commercial.

If you want a system that is write-available even in a minority partition, you can't use a quorum-based system with success, like in the famous case of the highly available shopping cart.
