Novel implementations of design patterns in dynamic languages
Design Pattern
It is a template that provides a description of good design alternatives for the benefit of programmers. It is used to provide recurring solutions to design patterns in both static and dynamic object oriented languages.
Importance of design patterns in programming languages
i. In a given context, design patterns can be a reusable solution for a general problem.
ii. For the benefit of novice programmers, design patterns are usually documented systematically.
iii. Design patterns help us to learn from the experience of other software developers.
iv. Design patterns are a framework for evolution and improvement of existing patterns.
v. It provides better abstraction for program organization.
Design patterns in dynamic programming languages
As dynamic languages need less overhead for bookkeeping (classes, methods) therefore design patterns are easier to use in dynamic languages. Dynamic o-o languages do not have class-restricted design, Hence design patterns are simpler and flexible.
Some design patterns have novel implementation in dynamic languages. The alternative ways of implementing design patterns ( such as observer, decorator, iterator) is being discussed here.
