title: Why does the Interpreter Pattern suck?
body: <p>In <a href="http://steve.yegge.googlepages.com/ten-great-books" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Steve Yegge's review of Design Patterns</a>, he calls the Interpreter Pattern an "in-joke". He goes on to talk about how the perception of compilers have changed, yet how interpreted languages are still s*** on, although I can't see how this ties into the pattern.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone want to enlighten this ignorant student?</p>
