Whether through Datomic or something else, it seems like some version of "database-as-a-value" (as described by Rich Hickey) is bound to happen. We're keeping immutable version histories of as much as our hardware and systems will allow, from source code management through other types of media. Why in the world wouldn't we do this with our data if we could?
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Widespread adoption of technology tends to follow a path of least resistance. Does Datomic offer a simple enough path to pull many people over? I also know many of us have a preference for building on open source systems; will this be an obstacle for Datomic?
