    This is called Bloch Builder. It's NOT a design pattern of GoF at all. Commented Apr 7, 2017 at 1:02

    This answer will cause more people mis-understand what actually called a Design Pattern. Commented Apr 7, 2017 at 1:03

    @N1ng I don't want to extend this discussion but I don't understand your arguments at all. The way I presented the builder pattern is the way it should be used in current moment - having a lot of benefits. The GoF book is neither a oracle not a up-to-date book. The same with wiki. And so called Bloch Builder is correct implementation of Builder pattern from GoF (think about it!). And about the post you mentioned - nothing spectacular there. Commented Apr 7, 2017 at 14:55

    Maybe you should mention it a little bit. Then people who are new to/interested in design patterns of GoF won't get the wrong concept. Commented Apr 7, 2017 at 15:09

    @N1ng Design patterns not equals GoF. They were used long before GoF. Commented Apr 7, 2017 at 20:00
