They voted interpreter off the island?!

According to Martin Fowler, at OOPSLA this year a bunch of patterns people got together and voted some patterns off the island
Four patterns were voted off. Factory Method (due to the confusion over what it means - the pattern is different to the more common usage of the term), Bridge, Flyweight, and Interpreter. Two patterns, Singleton and Chain of Responsibility, were split decisions.
I'm not sure what the reasoning was other than
people felt they were sufficiently uncommon and that other patterns would probably take their place
I think the reason is that an insufficient number of people are aware of this.
That's a nice style. Too bad it's not an anchor. ;)

Unbelievable! I hadn't really internalized how much the industry seems to have lost it's bearings. Now I'm depressed.
That certainly is a great counter point link!

Interpreter never had a chance; GoF book basically dismissed Interpreter as too inefficient for real-world use, and said something to the effect that "you'd never write an interpreter like this". That's where GoF is really outdated, the C++ focus and the accompanying bias towards "efficiency at any cost".
