#datomic on freenode

11:45 < splunk> can a datomic conn's state go bad/stale?  how does one check that state to know whether to reconnect?
11:46 < stuartsierra> I think you never need to reconnect.
11:47 < splunk> stuartsierra: thanks.  (worth documenting?)
11:47 < stuartsierra> Connections are long-lived and cached. I think that's in the docs somewhere.
11:49 < stuartsierra> You don't even need to keep a connection around. `connect` will return a cached connection, at the cost of one map lookup.
11:49 < splunk> That is awesome
11:50 < splunk> That cleans up a bunch of my "remember to pass the conn all the way down!" code
11:50 < splunk> Although I guess it's just, giving you global access to some state somewhere
11:50 < splunk> But you guys are managing the state
11:51 < stuartsierra> yes
11:53 < splunk> ah, it's mentioned under the docs for `release`
