I'm not sure what the GOF book is, and while its been years since I was a c++ programmer, I'm pretty sure that design patterns are generally independent of language.
also, "inferior languages"? really? can you elaborate? I would also like to transcend beyond the petty squabbles of mere mortals and my .net/python existence.
- chipsy 16y agoThe GOF book codified design patterns. You should probably read it.
- orenmazor 16y agodon't worry. I own it. I just call it by the author's names.
- earl 16y agoSorry, I thought GOF was a common name for it. I don't really have time to type out a long reply as to why C++/Java style design patterns don't occur in better languages, but I'd recommend putting some time in on lisp, ruby, or haskell. If you read idiomatic code in those languages, I think you'll understand my point.
- util 16y agoGoF = "gang of four". The book has four authors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns I'm not sure if it's an intentional reference to the Gang of Four from the Chinese cultural revolution.
