Meta-programming JavaScript Using Proxies

I recently wrote about a great, and very simple, use case for JS Proxies [1]. They are the cleanest way to implement the mediator pattern in JS, which has some great uses in MVC.<p>[1]: <a href="http://blog.sorentwo.com/2013/12/06/presenting-by-proxy.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.sorentwo.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;12&#x2F;06&#x2F;presenting-by-proxy.html</a>

Please note that he seems to be using the old Proxy API.

Normally I like having features like this in a language, but in JS I think it will be just a new tool for the &quot;ninjas&quot; to write crappy unmaintainable with it.

I didn&#x27;t understand what was special&#x2F;novel about Proxies at all.
