What is the best way to delete strings in a string list that that match certain pattern?

Nonsense. For processing over each element, you have to loop over them, 
either with or without growing a call-stack at the same time.

FP languages can optimize away the stack-frame-growth (tail recursion) - 
but this isn't reducing complexity in any way.

So use a loop, either directly, or using a list-comprehension.
