"Design Patterns" often seem to be workarounds for things that you can't do nicely in your language. Closures are a cleaner way to do things in this case IMO, and having it as a first class operation is a subtle difference. The same can be said for other patterns such as a Factory. If I am using AspectJ then I use mixins instead of having to have a factory class itself.
