datalevin VS datascript-tutorial

You can also consider other durable Datalog options like datahike or datalevin which can work either as lib (SQLite style) or in a client-server setup; if you want to play with bi-temporality XTDB is a rock solid option with very good support and documentation.

There are some Clojure-ecosystems things that are pretty cool, too, that you'd probably miss going into Haskell. lacinia is an extremely cool GraphQL library, and there are a variety of interesting datalog-based datastores which are spiritual descendents of Datomic, notably xtdb (formerly crux) and datalevin. Also as noted, you can write the front-end in ClojureScript if you want to, and there are a lot of cool libraries for that as well.

There are plenty of open source Datomic Inspired databases. Check out https://github.com/juji-io/datalevin and scroll down all the way down to “Alternatives”. There was even the beginning of a rust one by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

The benchmarks in question have several implementation issues, I reported them on GitHub.

Highly recommend you give https://github.com/juji-io/datalevin a chance. You can use it both as a key-value and/or relational datalog store (like datomic) but it’s very simple to set up and blazing fast!

Unlike some other commenters, I agree that graph models are usually a better fit for most data than relational models. There's been some interesting work in recent years developing this idea: in the Clojure world there's Datomic, XTDB, and a host of competitors, all of which build on work from Semantic Web/SPARQL/triplestores and logic programming. Some are even intended to be used as primary datastores: they support some amount of schema and constraints, have well-defined consistency and ACID guarantees, etc. This makes them unlike graph databases like Neo4J and others, which fill an architectural role more like Elasticsearch as a read-optimization tool. Here's an interesting talk making a case for triple-based databases.

From the docs section of the readme off the github repo, there's a good tutorial repo. It includes getting started as well as pretty involved examples across the rest of the lib.
