Design patterns are language independent, but a lot of the ones many Java devs focus on are a bit meh.

In a world with only assembly language, for instance, it’s a bit like making a big deal about a “guarded repetition” pattern (aka a while loop).

Eg in Lisps, a lot of patterns become one-liners. At that point these patterns become a “can you write decent Lisp” question[1].
