More like they were distilled from all code zoo there was, not 
created/designed for a specific language or corporate world.

They are useful as a shortcut to tell some approach to your 
design, instead of having explain in entire paragraph what you'd 
like to do.

Imho, basic patterns that were distilled from OOP (gang of four 
book for example) are not necesarily tied to OOP, and can be done 
in other design paradigms as well. For example chain of 
responsibility, can be done with just functions, or command 
pattern can use simple structs/functions with DbI.
