It's more like "if switching from Java to Python". I've also never seen anyone writing Python do this.

#5Peter Norvig has a well-known piece that goes into more depth on why the GoF-style patterns don't make much sense in high-level languages:

#6The Zen of Python: there should be one obvious way to do things.
Python in practice: there is more ways of doing it than in any other programming language.
Oh Python, how I love and hate you.

An example of the Builder pattern in the wild: https://github.com/bikram990/PyScep/blob/8d80bc03368ea8dc6ea...
...especially annoying if it's only used in one continuous chain: https://github.com/bikram990/PyScep/blob/8d80bc03368ea8dc6ea...

After reading the article, I couldn't believe anyone designs their systems like that. His "solutions" seemed to be the obvious way to do things.

I've seen a person using in Perl Singleton classes, Factory classes and other Java patterns. The app worked well but the code was probably 2x large than it could be.

#10I really appreciate how this article explains why certain design patterns became a thing. Usually, it was to address some very practical problem or limitation. And yet, a lot of younger programmers treat these patterns like a religious dogma that they must follow and don't question if they really make sense for the specific situation they are in.
