Hello, Phill!
As @felipegmarques and (I assume) the others who liked your post, I would like to see you expand on your points. I am also in the process of building my first Datomic system, and I feel like learning backend is mostly new ground. Hypothetically, if you were asked, would you be willing to take part in one of the running Clojure podcasts? Not that I am in a position to decide what the podcasters do, but this is a discussion I’d really like to hear in long form audio. A blog post would be interesting as well, but having a host that gently prods with questions is a good way to tackle a complex topic, I find.
Also, thanks for the Fowler link. Good read.
