SilkJS-Harmony | Experimental new API using Harmony Proxy

SilkJS-Harmony is a JavaScript library. SilkJS-Harmony has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

JavaScript has had getters and setters for a while now. Harmony Proxies allow for the interception of access to any arbitrary member of an Object or Function. While writing my June article for JSMag, I mused about the possibility of using Proxys to implement server-side sessions, and then presented a possible whole new way of looking at implementing general purpose APIs. The Perl programming language has the concept of "tie" that allows you to programatically bind a hash array to a DBM file, which is a persistent key/value kind of storage. Harmony Proxies can trivially be used to implement the same thing. In fact, I've implemented a binding to a key/value store using memcached as the backend. Simply binding an Object to a key/value store is just the beginning of the possibilities. I imagine a rich API where method and function calls are replaced by assignments to object properties.
