I haven't actually used Datomic yet, but what piques my interest isn't necessarily "ooh, Rich Hickey" as much as "ooh, the Clojure/functional approach to data immutability applied to a database". The appeal, to me at least, is in the potential to make my life easier as a product engineer, rather than as a DBA or devops guy.

Very much one of the biggest draws in my opinion, as I've been using Datomic in production for several months. We're a clojure shop and one of the things I've been working on recently is developing a library for parsing/storing/querying all of clojure's data structures into datoms. I hope I get to open source it :)
