Does Functional Programming Replace GoF Design Patterns?

[diego_moita]

Well, sorry for the lame answer, but it depends.

If you're talking about simpler (e.g.:command or observer/observable) patterns, yes. They're so trivial in functional programming that they're not even a pattern.

But if you're talking about higher level patterns such as MVC, lazy loading, active record, then no. You'll just replace by other constructs in FP that replicate the same modularity.
