Seems to me I read this in one of graham's essays
http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html

Maybe. But I tend to dismiss Paul Graham as the same class of blowhard
as Eric Raymond and Philip Greenspun. Small code, large mouth.
I don't even credit Graham with as much code as Raymond, we only have
Graham's word about how much code he *personally* wrote.
It probably came from one of the functional programming people through
the Python bunch. The Pyhton folks tend to look down on a lot of the
design patterns, too.
