The Fuel framework for PHP intends to capitalize on the work done by earlier MVC frameworks such as Ruby on Rails.
Jon Galloway is researching dynamic ASP.NET MVC 3 models using Mono’s Compiler as a Service. Meanwhile Karsten Januszewski is looking into deserialized JSON in lieu of statically typed models.
Steve Sanderson recently introduced MVC Scaffolding, a customizable code generation tool for ASP.NET MVC 3. MVC Scaffolding uses a simple command-line interface to automatically generate code based on templates.
