It’s hard to get adoption for expensive toys.

I think Datomic is neat, and I’d like to use it, but it is prohibitively expensive for a personal or hobby project. Personal projects are where I get excited about tech, and when I’m excited I’m more likely to adopt it in my day job.

They’re really shooting themselves in the foot by not having a one-click install free tier or a self hosted option.

You may want to look into XTDB then. Not quite the same as Datomic, but they share many similarities. It's free and open-source.
