I didn't realise until recently that NoSQL and document-oriented database systems Like MongoDB are based on pre-relational database systems.
As for XML it reminds me a bit of my first IT job as a COBOL programmer in 1989, although the analogy is more with regards to the set up required in order to write a few lines of logic. The actual code that contained the logic was perhaps only ten lines but the code to define the report and set everything up could easily span 300+ lines.

ASP.NET MVC's introduction in 2010 was just a rehash of Classic ASP with more bells & whistles...
Besides, the entire framework already existed in .NET form with The Castle Project's, MonoRails...

Are not most data centric websites just another form of green screen? 
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

This thread is going from the sublime to the ridiculous!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
