"Design patterns of 1972", by MJD

[Rich Morin]

In "Design patterns of 1972", Mark-Jason Dominus says:

Patterns are signs of weakness in programming languages.

When we identify and document one, that should not be the
end of the story. Rather, we should have the long-term
goal of trying to understand how to improve the language
so that the pattern becomes invisible or unnecessary.

Interesting read and quite relevant to Ruby and Rails...
