Not necessarily. The DB consists of three independent layers. Persistent "external" symbols are the base. They are directly in the core language. They are used to implement b-trees, and in addition - and on top of those - the entity and relation objects (only those are OOP). > Is there a way I could use the DB to just accrue immutable > facts (just like Clojure Datomic works)? Just create external symbols (with 'new' without a class), and store stuff into their values and property lists. > Is there a non-OOP sample that I could use as a starting point?
