Not that I expected anything less, but it's a happy surprise that it applies so well to graphs. Now I'm wondering if I should just use Datomic rather than borrow ideas from it. One thing I'm convinced of now is that it's OK to assign ids to everything. I was cringing at that idea before, because it seems like an unnecessary layer of indirection and one more thing that could go wrong. But clearly Datomic's approach of assigning every "entity" an id enables some wonderful simplicity, since it enables one to very conveniently chain entities together. And when basically everything is an entity, that means you can chain anything to anything—which addresses the "type headache" I was trying to avoid. -- Ben Kovitz http://pages.iu.edu/~bkovitz/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
