We were already doing MVC in products like the one sold by Altitude Software in Portugal, in a Tcl based platform that was inspired on Vignette and AOLServer.

The authors of said product eventually went on to create OutSystems, one of the very few RAD products to do Delphi/VB like application servers with graphical tooling.

It was no need for Django/Rails trail-blaze anything other than not everyone has Silicon Valey visibilty to push their ideas.
