With transpiling CSS, again, you're mostly doing a string replacement or an addition. But with a polyfilling in CSS, the big difference here is you're not having to worry about prototype or anything like that. And sometimes these polyfills can end up being very heavy based on what they want to do. You're adding a ton of JavaScript to your site that will then be running anytime CSS needs to update or repaint it.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk about what polyfills, transpiling, and monkey patching mean, how and when to do it, and libraries that can help you out.
