The last version on the site came out in APRIL 23, 2013... is this project alive still?

But it requires "Ruby (MRI) 1.8.7 and 1.9. Bud also has experimental support for Ruby 2." which means it's on life support. Fair for a research project started when 1.8.7 was current but not much for doing any real work today.

You might also be interested in JOL/Overlog, which was the predecessor to Bloom:

https://github.com/tcondie/jol

We built quite a few prototypes on top of it. The language implementation is a research prototype, but it is impressively stable.

Overlog’s synatax is based on datalog, but it shares many core ideas with Bloom.
