While i agree with you, I just want to point out that the GOF book was written before the release of Java (and its rise to popularity) and that the book uses C++ and shows bunch of workarounds for limitations in C++, not in Java.
- jhanschoo 8y agoI'll go further: it seems as though that when Java was designed, there was express consideration that design patterns would find clear expression and use in Java. That is, it is not the case that design expressions are suitable for Java because of uninspired design, but because Java was designed to support programs making heavy use of design patterns.
