So, here's something I hate on this site. Arguments that are made in the fashion "People who disagree with me must not understand X". When in fact you're often talking to some of the smartest people in programming on here (though, maybe not in other things.)

It's possible to understand design patterns and work in a language that doesn't require them as much.

Here's a talk about it from 2009 with regards to python.

Some design patterns work around a bad language, but most are about complex problems. They are a way of describing abstraction, and that is what languages are about.
