Talk:Datomic

Untitled
The statement that Datomic is built in Clojure is not supported by the references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.100.194 (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Assorted Musings on Significance:
Appologies in advance as I'm in a hurry and this entry is likey to reflect that.

(A web search will turn up more.)

I find Datomic a significant topic because:

-- It has a smoewhat novel (for now) database model that synthesizes ideas from relational databases, key-value, stores, the symatic web, and logic programming in an elegant and useful way.

-- It appearts to provice elegant solutions to some longstanding thorny problems having to do with concurrency, data synchronization, and data history.

-- It seems likely to be influential even if it never becomes espeically popular.

(If these characteristices are not consistent with Wikipedia's guidelines for Notability and Importance, it might be worth taking another look at those guidelines. IMHO notability should be more than a popularity contest.)

Granted lack of an O'Reilly Book, or any book for that matter is a point against, but according this somebody claims to be working on it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/datomic/xPHm-67WQTE

While I am sure that Datomic merits attention in Wikipedia, I'm not sure it needs it's own article, but the article I'd like to see it in doesn't seem to exist yet, and perhaps should be created. That is, There is an emerging group of append-only databases incorporating version control and/or date-time stamping of records or attribues that probably deserves an article and Datomic would fit right in. Others include Accumulo and Couchdb. Until that article or somethilng like it exists, I suggest keeping and expanding the existing Datomic article. (Sorry if it's there and I missed it.)

Some "see also" candidates:

-- Symantic Web -- Datalog -- Logic Progamming -- Database Schema -- Key-Value Store -- Relational Database -- Distributed Database

...and there's probably more but I gotta run. Thanx for you attention. -- ef — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericfluger (talk • contribs) 18:12, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

@Ericfluger: Datomic is not append-only. 96.37.91.197 (talk) 04:49, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Notability
In my estimation, there seems to be more than enough references to Datomic in Google Scholar to justify the existence of this article. On that note, Rich Hickey's deleted page should be resurrected so it may point to both Datomic, and Clojure.

 * Agreed. I have added one more reference and did a spring cleaning pass. Avindra talk 20:14, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
