Looks cool, but years of cynicism regarding “new” databases has me deeply suspicious of things like “Kafka as a database”. I mean Kafka is already a complicated enough thing I refuse to rely on it 100% for its normal usage. How can I ever trust it as a persistent data store? The answer is I can’t. Others will have to blaze this trail. Sorry but my love of Datalog is insufficient to motivate me to A: trust Kafka, and B: add java/clojure/anything JVM to my tech stack.

My reservations aside, serious nerd <3 for the Datalog support, I really wish more data storage has native support for Datalog. I hope this project matures to the point cynical system architects like myself can trust it, because Datalog is just that awesome. The project looks like it’s off to a great start so keep it up, and don’t let the cynical types [ like myself ;-) ] derail you.

It's worth noting that the back-end is pluggable via a protocol. I imagine that the community will eventually make a Postgres adapter for it.
