Well the other aspect of it is that DataScript is client-side. That said, we could use sqlite in browser or even IndexedDB at this point. Yes, a pure JS/TS alternative without a graph db implementation is possible. But when I started, I chose the same language and db to ensure parity would always be much more possible.

Haven't tried recursive CTEs before, maybe I should dig into it more!

To be clear, I think Datalog and Clojure are both actually really cool, I'm just a huge SQL fan too. I think the architectural decisions you made in this case make perfect sense :)
