Hi Dominikus, I think what you're seeing here is that transactions are synchronous from the point of view of the calling thread. Within your REPL thread, it is guaranteed that the transaction has committed before the `dosync` block returns. So even if transactions are getting aborted and retried behind the scenes, the thread that initiated the transaction still blocks until it is finished. As to which transaction "wins", I'm not sure what the rule is.
