I was looking at implementing a membrane using ES6 proxies
May I ask why you've been working on that?
It came up in the context of a discussion about how to handle __proto__
sets on WebIDL objects in Gecko that are implemented by proxy-like
objects due to having named or indexed getters. That led to
[[Get/SetInheritance]], which led me to try to understand this part of
the spec. It seemed like [[GetInheritance]] was on the one hand
providing a lot of room to hang yourself (e.g. traversing the proto
chain is no longer idempotent, nor guaranteed to terminate!) while not
allowing the basic membrane case to work in the obvious way...
One design goal of proxies was getting closer to self-hostability of the
DOM/browser APIs
Yeah, I was basically thinking about how I'd do Gecko's cross-global
wrappers with ES proxies (not that that's a reasonable thing to do,
since it requires APIs that simply can't be exposed to script).
so if you're working on something that validates (or
not) the proxy design and its practicality for this use case, it would
be valuable feedback.
All that WebIDL requires is the ability to write a custom implementation
of [[GetOwnProperty]], [[Delete]], and [[DefineProperty]]. What I
haven't checked is whether the WebIDL algorithms for those can be
implemented within the constraints that are imposed on proxy handlers at
the moment.
The question of how WindowProxy works is still open; it's not defined in
terms of the MOP... yet.
