At the risk of naming an Eldritch horror, IIRC it was Cold Fusion that first adopted something like an MVC-in-querystring routing system in the late 90s or early 00s, and that eventually spread when FCGI caught on and users of other languages got used to long-running middleware processes. It seemed hella elegant at the time.

In particular the superset-of-html syntax has been superseded for pure logic by "CFScript" which is just an ECMAScript dialect. There's even a package manager, test harness, etc. And of course it's JVM hosted so it's fairly easy to use Java stuff (stdlib of otherwise) if what you need doesn't exist in CF.
