Didn't Cognitect primarily make money through consulting services revenue for other people's projects, and not selling Clojure / Clojure tools?

I think there was a product attempt by becoming a database company -- datomic -- that happened to be written in clojure, but ultimately they still got bought out for consulting vs product: https://www.cognitect.com/blog/2020/07/23/Cognitect-Joins-Nu...

So again, for all the good parts, just not the success story for a PL/tools startup that Jean is looking for..
