what does this mean for the future of clojure?

I am a bit worried that a startup has acquired two companies that have extremely deep experience in specialised languages Platformatec (Elixir) and now Clojure (Cognitect)

The answer is in the blog post ("Nubank understands the unique value of Clojure and Datomic, and is committed to continuing both without disruption." and the bullet points that follow.)

That's what they _say_, it's not necessarily the answer to the question.

It sounds like not much will change.

I do wonder about datomic, though, as people I’ve spoken to at Clojure conferences seem to have made use of Cognitect’s consulting as a kind of more advanced support mechanism and they say that they will stop the consulting work.

All Datomic consulting will continue.

It says this in your post.

Cognitect will continue to offer professional services for Datomic customers, but will transition out of general consulting development.

Does this mean your general consulting services are going away?

Great, so it sounds like not much will change for external users of Clojure and Datomic. Sounds like the the biggest change is in terms of funding.

Sounds good to me, congratulations!

EDIT: I guess my confusion was between professional services for Datomic and general consulting, since both were mentioned in the context of Datomic.
