One of Datomic's oft-touted features is that its queries are just data structures. What does this mean for us as developers? In this talk, we'll look at how we leveraged queries- as-data to build a UI that dynamically generates queries to answer complex questions about our data. We'll look at design patterns for building a composable query engine on top of Datomic, UI patterns for exposing this to non-developers, and data modeling considerations to maintain high performance.
