Design patterns exist to paper over language deficiencies. Use a language which is not deficient.

I agree. Doesn't contradict anything I said. So I will assume you posted the link in support of my argument :)

There's some truth to this, since some design patterns can simply be implemented "for good" in a sufficiently powerful language, but I don't find it's true in general. Unfortunately, it has become something of a thought-terminating cliché. Some common design patterns are so flexible that if you really implemented them in full generality as, say, some library function, its interface would be so complex that it likely wouldn't be a net win.

Then I would say you have not arrived at the optimal solution. Keep looking.

Just my two cents - but a general purpose language is going to need to be coupled with design patterns in order to be useful for different tasks.

I'm using MVC design patterns for some codebases, I'm using DDD plus Event sourcing and Event Driven for others.

I suspect that you are thinking of a small subset of design patterns (eg. Gang of Four derived patterns like Visitor, Strategy, or Iterator )

All examples of OO nonsense. There is only one pattern you need (functions) (tongue-in-cheek): https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/fppatterns/

Edit: Also consider using the ELM architecture instead of MVC: https://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/

Like what?

First class functions and iterators are probably examples of what they mean, in terms of language features that obsolete (GoF) design patterns
