Okay I can wait :)
But without optimistic transactions, what sets Horizon apart from just running the transaction-code on the server? If I understand it correctly, the latency will be the same in both cases, i.e., one network round-trip.

Ease of use.
Lack of optimistic updates is a temporary state, though. The vision for Horizon definitely includes this functionality, and we'll make sure it lands ASAP.
