Clojure is very compelling for implementing a main-memory database; if you use the persistent data structures and concurrency primitives in the right way, you get atomicity, consistency, and isolation essentially for free.

Do the index maps contain pointers back to the base records? The examples I saw on the implementation page showed a nested copy of the data; I assume this is just a projection?

That's a good question; indeed the index maps just contain pointers back to the records.
