A Practical Functional Relational Architecture
summary
Argues that Functional Relational Programming is practical today, realized with Clojure / ClojureScript, Datomic (immutable relational DB) and React; shows Datomic is ACID, exposes datalog queries, a transaction log and time-travel reads so the database is a value at a logical time; demonstrates a React-driven time-travel UI implemented in about ten lines and interfaced over HTTP/Transit; notes Datomic runs on AWS marketplace, is language-agnostic via client protocol, and is used at companies like Netflix and Facebook.
