A Functional Pattern System for Object-Oriented Design

"Design patterns inspired by functional programming concepts can advance object-oriented design. This thesis promotes the idea that concepts from the world of functional programming can be captured with design pattern descriptions. These can then be used to benefit from functional programming concepts with ordinary object-oriented languages. The functional patterns are evaluated for their impact on language design and a new approach to a dual-paradigm language is presented."
