MVC separation is a function of application design, not language.

I miss the rigor of C++ but love the fact that in Javascript I can write an application with a tenth of the code and spending most of my time thinking about application logic rather than nuts and bolts.

Certainly the platform can facilitate MVC or even enforce it to some extent, and most languages come with a platform of their own these days. For example Ruby on Rails really does enforce that each of M V and C are in separate files. You can mix them together if you try, but you are guided to do things the right way by the platform.

In the same spirit you could have pointed to http://www.angularjs.org/ or http://backbonejs.org/ as examples of javascript frameworks that lead to MVC patterns.

I still don't like Javascript, but MVC is a framework (not language) inherent pattern.
