- akkartik 14y agoBut you can mutate bigtable cells. Datomic seems dramatically different in that respect.
- Evbn 14y agoCan you? Or do some apps just always ask for the latest timestamped version when they read?
- akkartik 14y agoYou could but it's not enforced. In practice, teams at google seem to use the time axis in myriad ways, and seldom like datomic. Also, always reading the most recent timestamp doesn't use time like datomic does. You aren't querying by time and so on.
