Ok, I'm sure the slides get better as they go on. But what the hell? The difference between the patterns that are compared and contrasted are... well, tenuous, at best.

Seriously, it gives off the impression not that these are going to be better patterns. But that someone simply has a bias against "patterns" as they are promoted in Java and then rails against it saying that they are going back to the root of the word patterns. Ignoring that this is the same path.
