It's like you haven't noticed he is trying to break data out of the web jail. MVC is an in-process architecture. Evidently, he's thinking about an inter-process architecture that could be fronted in multiple ways.
There is nothing "in-process" about MVC. I can access ActiveRecord objects just as easily from an IRB as from a Rails action, and I can drive a REST API just fine from curl. He's simply crazy.
