Yes, the state of the web in 1998 was as you describe, but by 2005-2006 there was an explosion of MVC web frameworks in many different languages, of which Rails was just one.
- charlieflowers 9y agoThat's right. Even pre-mvc, Java had Java Server Pages in 1999, which was much better than "<table>...sql here". However, Rails is what really launched the "MVC renaissance." Because of it, soon Java, C# and many other languages moved to predominantly MVC cultures.
- revscat 9y agoRails was a (positive) reaction to Struts. Struts was an MVC framework, but clunky and difficult to manage. ActiveRecord in particular took many lessons from what Struts did wrong, and fixed it.
