Abstract

Design patterns (DPs) are becoming increasingly popular as a way to describe solutions to general design problems [GHJV94]. Most design pattern authors consider that DPs should stay independent of the implementation language to keep their abstraction. However, the problems that occur during DP implementation in traditional object-oriented languages - loss of the DP, class proliferation, increased code complexity and impossibility to reuse the DP implementation lead - to the question of providing language support for DPs in languages themselves.
