Just because they may be overused in Java doesn't mean people shouldn't use them at all in other languages.
They have originated from C++, fine, but it is a different language, different ecosystem, different community, different ideology and -- different idioms
Then again, many C++ younger devs don't even know what Booch method might be all about.
