MVC frameworks aren't dinosaurs but sharks
The big MVC frameworks are in a great position to take advantage of the move back to hypermedia as a major network model for web development.  We are seeing a swing back to this model with modern hypermedia-oriented libraries like unpoly, hotwire and my own htmx, where javascript is used to augment the hypermedia model rather than replace it with a client-server RPC-style network model as with most SPAs.<p>These older frameworks have been honed to a razors edge for producing hypermedia (HTML) server side and delivering it to clients efficiently.  As people begin to realize just how much you can achieve with this approach (and the simplicity it brings back to web development) I expect interest in these frameworks to soar.<p>Bullish on 2005 tech books!
