Why does Transit not allow serialization of clojure(script) functions ? What is the inherent difficulty there ?

I am trying to serialize my datascript database to JSON for storage on a filesystem.
Some of the data inside my database includes functions. For reasons that are not interesting, I need to store them in the database for now with other session info for the application. But I get an exception that transit "cannot write Function"

I looked at the code and it simply tries to handle data structures only - maps, vectors, etc. But there is no handler for functions. So I KNOW WHY I get the error, but the gist of my question is why it was not implemented to be able to serialize functions as well ?

Is it just too novel an thought ?

thanks
