"Good" is not well-defined so let’s rephrase it as "interests".
People with the same ideologies flocks together. So when conflict of interest happens, each flock believes that

Probably. Check out materialize, which is also based on differential dataflow.

Datahike is an immutable Datalog database (like Datomic) powered by the hitchhiker-tree.
As of v0.6.0 it use hitchhiker-tree synchronization for replication.

Rich Hickey calls this a 'situated' program in his talk from Clojure/Conj 2017, where the program has to deal with information and real-world irregularities for extended periods.
While agile disciplines help you from one perspective, your tools (e.g. program language) might also help you solve some of the problems. In this framing, Clojure certainly tries to help where the it matters most.
Highly recommended to read the transcript or watch the video, even if you are not interested in the language itself.

So Apple has its own browser, its own JIT compiler(1), which emits its own instruction sets, which then run own its own CPUs.
Heck let’s propose the JPU (JavaScript Processing Unit) for server-side codes.

Indeed, I'd also argue that the most commonly used database is Excel. Although few people using it realize they're designing schema.
