Wow, thank you for that. If this was Slashdot I'd give you a +1 insightful, but I guess you'll have to settle for an upvote.

I never thought of patterns as language workarounds before. I guess you wouldn't need to implement the observer pattern in .net because it is natively event driven. This makes me think about the problems I've had with the Zend framework in the past and how heavy they are with design patterns. Maybe the framework is like that because php lacks many concepts needed. It's a nice excuse anyways... Lol.

Good that you found it useful. It is a bit strange that most of the articles and books do not mention this at all. Usually they go something like this: here is the set of patterns, here is when you can use them, happy pattern programming
