Lea Verou argues polyfills are a net positive for the web platform
Lea Verou argues that polyfills are beneficial for the web, countering claims they are harmful.
Lea Verou contends that polyfills are a feature of the web, not a flaw, responding to WHATWG editor Anne van Kesteren's claim that they are harmful. Verou emphasizes that polyfills decouple API design from implementation, allowing developers to signal their needs effectively, which ultimately leads to better native implementations.
