IIRC Datomic is open-source, just not freely licensed?

Bitcoin is also definitely an open-source immutable database ;)

EDIT: Maybe not, wow.




Hi Matt :)

Yeah, doesn't Bitcoin use BerkeleyDB underneath or something? Superficially it's immutable (when just API'ing to the blockchain) but underneath it's backed by BerkeleyDB I believe, which is your everyday mutable sql store


Citation dramatically needed.

Maybe for querying read values of unspent transaction balances from blockchain ledgers, but the data integrity where it matters is on the chain where people can't screw with it...
