Because of the richness of Scala, sometimes there can be a better implementation using some of the nice features of Scala, but sometimes the design pattern just looks the same as it would in a language such as Java.

In many cases, the structural design patterns seem quite similar. This, however, shouldn't confuse you as they still have different purposes. Some examples include:
