The whole point of Datomic is that it implements this entire immutable framework for you, on top of mutable storage. So YOU can focus on building your own specific business logic, instead of re-implementing the immutable DB wheel.

Because, for example, your application is not tied to the JVM? You are uncomfortable using closed source software for such a critical piece of infra? As far as I can tell they don't even have a searchable bug report database! I'd hate to be the one debugging an issue involving datomic.
