I understand that. However that wasn't what my comments were directed at. He also said "This is mainly due to the fact that OO creates its own set of problems that are only partly answered by using Design Patterns." - which is beyond stating that patterns aren't generally applicable to functional languages. My point was that patterns are not there to "patch up" OOP designs as Nicolas implied. Also, as far as I'm aware there aren't too many folks here using languages such as Ocaml and Lisp anyway, and given that everyone agrees design patterns aren't especially relevant to languages such as Ocaml and Lisp - and therefore that the "Design Patterns" book is also by definition not relevant to languages such as Ocaml and Lisp is .. why are we even having this discussion? 2 + 2 = 5 ? _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
