Also known as MVC before Rails decided to redefine the term.

Java redefined the term MVC a long time after Smalltalk originally defined the term in the 70's. Rails didn't redefine the term, it much later copied the (poorly) redefined term from Java and tweaked it a little. Smalltalk MVC and Java/Rails MVC are EXTREMELY different. Java and Ruby's MVC are quite similar (and loosely based on a superficial misunderstanding Smalltalk's MVC).
No, MVC is at best orthogonal to message-passing.
Maybe? Most good ideas have been out there for decades. Getting the execution right is what’s hard.
