By that logic, everything runs in a browser. The principle of computational equivalence tells us that one turing complete language can do what any other can.
So yes, everything can be polyfilled or transpiled.
But that does not really meet my understanding of "Runs in the browser".

- tlrobinson 6y agoWhen I open https://tomcoin.herokuapp.com/ https://tomcoin.herokuapp.com/ in a browser I see it running. That meets my definition of "runs in the browser". Would you have been happier if I wrote "written in a dialect of JavaScript which is transpiled to ES5 using Webpack and Babel so it can run in the browser"?
