> Since it was invented however, new programming techniques have become popular. Without closures (or anonymous blocks) event binding can be very tedious; and without deferrables (also known as deferreds or promises) the idea of treating individual operations as objects in their own right doesn’t make much sense. Didn't the Smalltalk team invent MVC? Because I believe Smalltalk in the 70s supported both.
