I think their statement about ACID is too bold.

How does somebody do read-"modify" style of transactions ?

Say I want to bump some counter. So I delete old fact and I establish new fact. But new fact needs to be exactly 1 + old value of counter. With transactions as simple "add this and remove that" you seemingly cannot do that. So it's not ACID. Right?

Any access to source? Looks nice but I have a bunch of questions about transactor.
