ASP.Net MVC Framework

Scott Gutherie posted on his blog, Sunday, that Microsoft will be releasing an MVC framework for ASP.Net later this year.  After having spent the last few weeks emerging myself in the Rails framework, I found the list of features for the MVC framework to be very interesting, indeed.  It will provide a clean separation of concerns and allow better testability of the code, will be highly extensible and pluggable, will provide support for URL mapping and pretty URLs, and will allow you to specify "view templates". 

In my last post, I pointed out new language features in the 3.0 version of C# and how they seemed to be inspired by dynamic languages such as Ruby.  Now, I have to say, the MVC Framework seems to include several features that are inspired by the Rails framework. Shrug...looks like .Net developers won't have to go anywhere to enjoy the benefits of dynamic language features and pattern based web development. 

The MVC approach really appeals to my sensibilities, but it was so hard to implement in ASP.Net.  I look forward to getting my hands on this new framework.
