I was at a talk of his last year and there are a number of fault tolerant MP algorithms being drawn in. MPI hasn't been updated in ages, I don't think that necessarily means we need to ditch it, it just means the standard needs to be modernized. I don't feel very strongly about this since working with MPI is a huge pain in the ass and it seems like the challenge of modernizing it is just gargantuan.
Also I'm not familiar with spark, but isn't Chapel a decade old at this point and barely works at all? I tried their compiler last summer and it took 5 minutes to compile hello world, hopefully its improving.
