in reply to Perl Design Patterns Book

Sometimes I think the whole Design Patterns thing is getting over-hyped. That's why I found the"Design Patterns" aren't talk from Dominus so refreshing. Read it for an alternative viewpoint.

("Design Patterns" Aren't) ne ("Design Patterns" Bad)

    I agree that it's an interesting article, but my understanding is that he wasn't saying "design patterns are bad". He was merely saying, "what programmers call 'design patterns' aren't what the original term 'design patterns' referred to". That's why the title is "'Design Patterns' aren't" rather than "'Design Patterns': 99% Bad". :-)
