Blender 2.5

There is some news about blender 2.50.

I am interested in object oriented programming, and one of the changes discussed is a redesign to use the model-view-controller architectural pattern.

A multi-touch interface was briefly mentioned. The transcript also contained the concept of an "operator" that sounded like the gof command pattern.

Python scripting was part of their discussion. I still have not gotten much experience with Python.

I've read the mvc pattern is also often used in web frameworks, like Ruby on Rails. I still would like to learn more about that tool as well.
