      While ES6 proxies are really nice, I came across this experiment (1) and their tests showed that ES6 proxies can be very bad at performance. I could reproduce the test case. Not sure whether this GraphQL client has some way to optimize.

      No. In fact, AFAIK it's already implemented on Node, behind the --expose-wasm flag: http://thecodebarbarian.com/getting-started-with-webassembly-in-node.js.html

    • steveklabnikJun 2017

      This is a little old, but you can use wasm from node http://thecodebarbarian.com/getting-started-with-webassembly-in-node.js.html
