Web Browser Programming Blurring the Lines of MVC 303
lkcl tips his in-depth article up at Advogato on the difficulties for the MVC programming model that are introduced by Javascript and AJAX, and solutions for them. He writes: "This article outlines how the MVC concept is made incredibly awkward by the gradual but necessary introduction of Javascript and AJAX. A solution is found in the form of Javascript Compiler Technology such as GWT or Pyjamas (PyPy's JS backend or Rb2Js could be used, with some additional work). The article outlines how and why the traditional MVC patterns are fragmented by Javascript and AJAX, advocating that if a site is programmed purely in a high-level language that is then compiled to Javascript for the Web Browser sections, the same high-level source code can be executed either client-side on the browser, or server-side, or even both, depending on the requirements. The implications of this approach are discussed in depth."

The internet, being a series of tubes, naturally adapts itself to the PVC [clearpvcpipe.com], rather than MVC, model.

is that I can sit down at basically any computer anywhere in the world, open up a browser, and have basically the same experience with any application I open.
That is not even true with basic HTML/CSS nowdays. Let alone "applications". Not even identical keyboard shortcuts are possible across browsers.
