Not necessarily. You could build multiple targets and dynamically serve one over the other. Not as hard as it sounds.


Isn't that what the parent said?


Didn't when I posted it


What tools do you use to make it happen?


Still working it through. The steps as I see it:

Figure out which browsers to support on which features: https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/

Have an alternate .babelrc with a transpile blacklist that points to a separate dest

Build a regex to match those browsers in your CDN (I use Fastly). Vary on the value you create.

Point said browsers asking for the normal JS payload to the alternate dest.
