Perhaps we've reached the point of too many layers of abstraction.
The web is designed for simple hyperlinked documents with some media elements. We've done a pretty good job of adding more stuff to it than that, but that doesn't mean it has proven wise or elegant.
- visualcsharp 14y agoThis is precisely why I wrote my .NET routing framework, JuniorRoute (http://projects.nathanalden.com/JuniorRoute http://projects.nathanalden.com/JuniorRoute ). I was tired of cumbersome MVC abstractions (ASP.NET MVC, FubuMVC) that don't fit the nature of HTTP. Some abstraction tends to be necessary, but I believe the MVC architecture is not appropriate for server-side Web development. We need frameworks that get us closer to the metal rather than introducing paradigms that don't fit with the browser/HTTP world we live in.
