Incredible: I had not idea NuBank discovered Datomic first and that it's Datomic that led them to Clojure, 100 million+ customers, and eventually acquiring Cognitect.

Good to see David Nolen (aka "swanodette") is in the documentary too.

As a bonus here's a recent talk from David Nolen about Clojure/ClojureScript and using DOM morphing instead of React.

If you don't want to watch it all, just take two minutes to watch from 23m15s to 25m15s. He compares a behemoth slurping all the browser's CPU and RAM resources versus a 13 Kb of JavaScript + Web components and DOM morphing:

His talk is presented from Emacs, gotta love that too...

I don't know if it's still the case, but at old clojure conferences, or meetups, or places of employment, emacs was a prereq and assumed (and the most enjoyable)
