		tnisonoff on July 24, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Unofficial Guide to Datomic Internals (2014) If the argument is Datomic can't be simpler than a relational DB because it can utilize it for persistence, then you'd have to argue that a relational DB can't be simpler than directly using a hard drive for your storage solution.

"This simplicity enables a relation DB to do more than any hard drive can ever afford."

That also seems debatable for the exact same reasons. I don't think this would convince anyone that needs convincing.
