It's like claiming an algorithm is a design pattern. No. In the context of GoF as talked in the linked article, a design pattern isn't anything you see hand-coded in multiple programs.
- ncmncm 6y agoWe have been trying to make our languages able to put algorithms in libraries for a long, long time. So, usually they are.

- ncmncm 6y agoRestricting pattern awareness to the sort favored in GoF has become a pointless exercise. Most of the originals are no longer relevant at all. An expanded awareness of unavoidably repeated constructs remains useful.
