#### Polyfills

Note that transpiling doesn’t automatically supply [polyfills](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Polyfill) for your code. CoffeeScript itself will output [`Array.indexOf`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/indexOf) if you use the `in` operator, or destructuring or spread/rest syntax; and [`Function.bind`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind) if you use a bound (`=>`) method in a class. Both are supported in Internet Explorer 9+ and all more recent browsers, but you will need to supply polyfills if you need to support Internet Explorer 8 or below and are using features that would cause these methods to be output. You’ll also need to supply polyfills if your own code uses these methods or another method added in recent versions of JavaScript. One polyfill option is [`@babel/polyfill`](https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-polyfill/), though there are many [other](https://hackernoon.com/polyfills-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-or-maybe-a-bit-less-7c8de164e423) [strategies](https://philipwalton.com/articles/loading-polyfills-only-when-needed/).
