Just wondering if this project is still being maintained, and if things like Spark 2 are on the roadmap.

That's a very important issue. We definitely need this project alive!

If more people will want compatibility with version 2, I'll look at it.

So why didn't this project move forward? I just did a Scala POC and writing platform-agnostic code is impossible due to it's static nature. Are there technical reasons why Python can support Spark but not Ruby? I find my Ruby code is way more maintainable and fun to write than my Python code.

  1. Well, its very hard to use dynamic language in a distributed environment. Specially ruby cannot serialize an anonymous function (its easier in python).
  2. Ruby is not very common language for computation problem.
