+Note that [babel-preset-env](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/preset-env/) doesn’t automatically supply polyfills 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, or in your own code are using similarly modern methods. One option is [`babel-polyfill`](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/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/).
