Novel Implementations of Design Patterns in Dynamic Languages

Dynamic languages such as Ruby and Javascript allow many novel implementations of the design patterns we cover in previous chapters, which would not be possible or feasible in complied languages such as Java and C. Language features only available in dynamic languages give developers an increased amount of flexibility in how they can implement design patterns. These language features and the some examples of the implementations they allow are detailed in this section.
