This looked really familiar to another Mozilla project called Datomish. The project was recently renamed to avoid confusion with Datomic; but apparently that _also_ involved a rewrite into Rust. Details here: https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/issues/133

Unfortunately, this means that the path for using this in non-Node Javascript environments (i.e. browsers) is unknown.

This is the renamed version of Datomish.

The original implementation was in ClojureScript. This reimplementation is in Rust, and is intended to work anywhere you can run Rust code: inside Node, inside Firefox, and in standalone applications.

We expect a WebExtensions API to wrap this inside Firefoxes at some point, but right now we're focused on the core (re)implementation.
