I wonder if there is an updated version of this wonderful resource by Norvig. I read it about 12 years ago, and I still found it so useful. In general, all the work by Peter Norvig is so clear, simple to read, and enjoyable.

I would love a guide to design patterns in dynamic languages that doesn't presuppose a familiarity with design patterns in static languages. Most of the design pattern guides I've read, it tried to read, follow this same assumption.

I suppose a workaround would be to learn a static language well enough to understand the need for the full set of design patterns, and then read a guide like this, but it seems like there should be a more elegant way.

Harry Percival's upcoming Python book might interest you, although I think it's focused more on patterns for structuring the application than patterns for the small details: https://www.cosmicpython.com/

Cool. I'll take a look at the book. I was specifically interested in Python design patterns. I still remember the talk from Alex Martinelli at Google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vJJlVBVTFg, and I just saw there is an updated version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeuChRCByZc
