The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Clojure

  Is this an add for daatomic or is that really that highly used by clojurians?

    If you lurk on #clojure, Datomic questions seem to pop up more weekly than monthly - so I'd say it's definitely a thing. Furthermore I am not aware of any involvement of the author in Cognitect, so I assume genuine excitement for Datomic if you think there is any.

      Carin Meier (the author) works for Neo, a software company with no ties to Cognitect as far as I know.

    I'm not sure how high the adoption rate is but it's a natural extension of immutable data into the database world. It also has some old roots in the Lisp community, lectures 8A and 8B[0] of MIT's famous SICP course and section 4.4 of the book[1] are on creating a logic programming language similar to Prolog; and Datomic's query language is Datalog which is a subset of Prolog.
