    They did, but it makes me sad. Python is becoming the next JavaScript because of its ease of use.

    The Java guys simply don’t understand how to code without the gang of 4 crutch to lean on.

      Some of the GoF patterns over-emphasise inheritance, but by-and-large, you don’t build large systems without either using or rediscovering software patterns, whether they’re OO, FP, or what-have-you.

          That makes more sense in context. Another Gang of Four (that I err, know more deeply for some reason) is(read:was) a political grouping in mid 70s in China.
