In general, the community has discussed reviving the project (or at least the ideas and some of its codebase). Julia computing will also be contributing as part of that revival.
Thank you both for the comments. I believe I remember early on there were some comparisons to kdb+/q. I think there is some pretty great potential with an offering like this (an in-memory database integrated with the language, coupled with solid static storage) from the Julia community going forward. I can envision some use cases in genomics/transcriptomics.
