I do understand the technical internal difference, I think, of 1 vs 2 objects, and the API differences of passing a constructor vs a factory function. But I do not understand the difference from the caller point of view, how would I choose when to use one or the other depending on my usecase? What does Proxy allows that Ghost do not? Or do Proxy only make sense when returning a parent class from the factory method? Côme
