Yeah, Stu told me I should do that :) In all cases the output from Datomic Datalog is just a data structure. In the case of the query in the blog post, it is just a collection of 2-tuples of date + source code string. The source strings are largish, and it would have bulked up things, so I punted.

The rules don't have output until incorporated in a query - you can think of them as akin to SQL views. However, they don't need to be installed in the db, you can pass them as an arg, as the query does.
