Great! While we're on it, can we retire the gang of four as well? I mean, the authors are obviously great software engineers, and the Patterns have helped to design, build, and most importantly read, a lot of software. But as we move forward, more and more of these goals can be achieved much more elegantly and sustainably with new languages and more functional approaches. Personally, I find re-teaching junior programmers, who are still trying to make everything into a class, very tiring.
