What Hacker News says
9 sourcesI remember being very excited about it years and years ago but, as far as I remember, the maintainer stopped updating it and nobody was up to pick the project up.
Unfortunately the blog does not have dates but the last update on the repo is 5 years ago.
I believe this project is basically dead.
EDIT: This is the post from the maintainer I remember seeing: https://github.com/voltrb/volt/issues/357
In Volt: A reactive web framework where your Ruby code runs both server and clientLooks like the author was looking for someone to take over but doesn't look like that happened: https://github.com/voltrb/volt/issues/357
In Volt: A reactive web framework where your Ruby code runs both server and clientDoes not seem to be actively developed, however. Last commit was in early 2016: https://github.com/voltrb/volt/
In Ruby on WebAssemblyhttps://github.com/voltrb/volt is a new ruby framework that does exactly what you described
In The road to Ember 2.0 RFCMeteor.js clone for ruby for example: https://github.com/voltrb/volt ;)
(i personally love meteor coding with literate coffeescript, though)
In No More JavaScript: An attempt to build a replacement languageVery interesting! I am interested in how data synchronization works. What data stores does the ORM currently support (my guess is mongodb so far)? How was it implemented? Would it work with multiple servers? I am not proficient in Ruby code, reading some code didn't give me a lot of information :)

(edit: I probably need to note here that I contributed to a similar part of Meteor, that has data-sync to persistent storage too)
In Volt: A Ruby web framework where your Ruby runs on both server and clientWhy is this "released" now? The projects seems to be semi-dead (only a couple bug fixes since last April) [1].
