Subject: "Design patterns of 1972", by MJD

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.
