I'm working on a web app using the mentioned Datascript library. It is in-memory DB with Datalog query language, written as open-source implementation of Datomic principles. It's usable from Clojure(script) and JS.

Takes some time to adapt way of thinking to its data model and I'm just starting to reap the benefits. Boy does this thing pack some serious power! Prodding the data for complex relations ("find two friends with same birthdays that also have cars of same color") becomes trivial, which opens up a whole new possible features I haven't dared to consider before. Combine it with React rendering and you get a very clean and powerful model for building complex web applications. I'm enjoying it a lot.

If anyone is interested in Datalog query language, here's a good resource: http://www.learndatalogtoday.org/
