What's that old chestnut about design patterns just being workarounds for missing language features?

Multi-paradigm languages: I'll admit they're usually woefully lacking in sex appeal. When it comes to getting @$#@% done and moving on with your life, though, they be awesome.

There is a difference between "this isn't provided by the language, but I can easily implement it" and "this is impossible (or absurdly messy) in the language, but these work-arounds can make me care less".
