(Originally posted by me on github, now updated and moved to a better writing platform) Poor MVC! It's probably the most misunderstood "pattern" in the history of computer science. Why? Viewing MVC as simply separation of concerns leads to unnecessar...

Thanks for writing this. I've been looking into this for about a year. Where could I find a good DCI/MVC implementation demonstrating some of the principles you've talked about here?

Thank you for reading it. :) It's difficult to find a pure MVC implementation in this manner due to current trends and the ill-deserved reputation of MVC, but at least things are moving in a better direction now with Svelte for example, where a component is a decent representation of any combination of the MVC acronym.

For DCI and MVC together, the Library example at github.com/ciscoheat/haxedci-example is at least trying to connect them, but it was 6 years ago I'm not sure if that's how I would do it today, the view part is a bit "magic", so it would be interesting to convert it to Svelte and typescript, for example. The DCI part is still pretty good though.

Thank you so much for the link! I'm not really concerned with how old it is, I just want an example I can look at that will allow me to conceptualize how it might work together.

I've been meaning to take Svelte for a spin but haven't haven't gotten around to it, but I'm definitely more motivated to give it a try now!
