Design patterns exist to paper over language deficiencies. Use a language which is not deficient. | ||||||||||||||

There's some truth to this, since some design patterns can simply be implemented "for good" in a sufficiently powerful language, but I don't find it's true in general. Unfortunately, it has become something of a thought-terminating cliché. Some common design patterns are so flexible that if you really implemented them in full generality as, say, some library function, its interface would be so complex that it likely wouldn't be a net win. | ||||||||||||||

Just my two cents - but a general purpose language is going to need to be coupled with design patterns in order to be useful for different tasks. I'm using MVC design patterns for some codebases, I'm using DDD plus Event sourcing and Event Driven for others. I suspect that you are thinking of a small subset of design patterns (eg. Gang of Four derived patterns like Visitor, Strategy, or Iterator ) | ||||||||||||||
