Magento 2 introduced unique implementation patterns, i.e. MVC, MVVM or HMVC. When you create a new module, you are following MVC or HMVC pattern, on the frontend and especially on checkout MVVM pattern is implemented with the use of strong blend JavaScript library Knockout.js and on the admin side is HMVC pattern.
