There's no need to sensationalize this. It's not the end of MVC and I'm not sure what's "banished" here. This sort of headline is a depressing trend.<p>But it is an interesting pattern for software architecture/engineering, and I'm glad to learn about it. I'll admit that after reading this summary I'm not entirely clear on how this marks any sort of revolutionary change in program design. Instead, it strikes me as a mental shift enabled by a few years' reflection on what MVC aspires to be. Indeed, the author says as much: "This may not seem like a really big change and indeed, technically, it is not. However the mental shift is huge!"<p>I'm not a Java developer, but in Ruby this sounds something like implementing a significant amount of program logic in modules rather than directly in a Merb/Rails/Datamapper/what-have-you model in order to achieve a looser coupling of the data/business logic layer.<p>So, I dunno. It's a really cool idea, and welcome to HN...but please change the headline to something less sensational/linkbait and more informative like - "Data/Context/Interaction - Thinking Beyond MVC Structure."
