Gordon Weakliem blogs about a set of slides about "Design Patterns in Functional Programming". Well, I found something even better, a paper based on Peter Norvig's work. You can find the work here, the paper is interestingly subtitled "Better Patterns Through Reflection".
Here's a snippet of the conclusions:
Language features such as reflection, higher-order functions, multiple dispatch, and predicate types have a positive impact on the implementation of nearly all of the Gang of Four Design Patterns. In some cases, the need for an explicit pattern nearly disappear; such as the Factory Method patternbeing subsumed by an extensible instantiation protocol.
