Proxies trace back their origin in mirrors/mirages in metaprogramming for OO languages. (shoutout to AmbientTalk) It's a very Smalltalk way of doing reflection and intersection.

Do you mean that it lacks syntactic abstractions to be called metaprogramming?

The author mentioned that metaprogramming is treating "code as data" which Proxies themselves don't really do.
