I feel that actually we are on the same page.

patterns as a concept for communication are helpful.

But I mean for people coding in in python & js creating singletons are overkill right?

Oh yeah. I'd agree with that. Maybe the message that should be added to the beginning of the Design Patterns book is... "Some languages support different patterns than other languages. Not all patterns will be useful in all applications or programming environments."

Someone once told me Python supported OOP, so I tried to use Smalltalk patterns with Python. It was not pretty.
