That's very disappointing. While I don't begrudge Cognitect money, it's obviously possible to make money with an OSS database and I wish they'd gone that route. It's my opinion that your database is the #1 most important part of your stack to be open, as your data is the most important thing. I've been considering trying to get up to speed with Mentat[0], which is a Mozilla project to create a Datomic-like layer over SQLite for desktop applications, and help out with that or even try to start a full open source clone of Datomic, though probably won't happen for a good while due to real life happening. It's got so many good ideas and it sucks to see them go to waste in a proprietary database where basically nobody gets to use them. [0]: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

You misunderstood my point since the beginning. I never said clojurescript is currently the best option to software development, but it do fixes the architectural problems of JavaScript. As it is javascript, it improves the platform/ecossystem as a whole. If you wanna a good example: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

This one that was posted here recently seems to be pointing in the right direction. https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

This looked really familiar to another Mozilla project called Datomish. The project was recently renamed to avoid confusion with Datomic; but apparently that _also_ involved a rewrite into Rust. Details here: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/issues/133 Unfortunately, this means that the path for using this in non-Node Javascript environments (i.e. browsers) is unknown.
