As a graphics guy I thought they referred to the algorithms used to fill polygons, but it turns out that "polyfills" in web developer parlance are developer implementations of things that should be standard in the browser but aren't. E.g. maybe all browsers implement an array sorting function, except for Internet Explorer. So for IE clients you'd load a "polyfill", which would be JS code that implements array sorting. I'm really glad I'm not a JS developer. |

Yeah, because other languages don't all have their issues...
"as a graphic guy" implies strongly "C++". Hardly the pinnacle of language design...
