Request: Internet Explorer 11 with proxy-polyfill example

[sdykae]

from #389 I was thinking that is posible to use with Internet Explorer 11. I've polyfilled proxy with proxy-polyfill and use core-js/stable + regenerator/runtime to solve Symbol and others but still can't get comlink to work.

I tried https://github.com/sdyalor/comlink.pwa to deploy this way with webpack and worker-plugin transpiling source, using old comlink version(with es5 dist), but no success ;'c

I also run into an issue with IE11 that comlink is es6 while IE11 is not fully compatible with es6. I did try to compile to es5 but then I ran into other issues.

Same here. Stumbling on the ES6 issue.

I just noticed there's a browser support section and as IE goes there's only Edge there (listed in barely readable badges...).

I got comlink to work, there are restrictions with some bindings but proxy-polyfill needs the source object to be defined like the remote one cuz is sealed (just seals the outside properties)

confirmed working... I think It should be import * as Comlink in your example code? Maybe IE is outdated, still runs very slow with the help of web worker.

Just wanted to go on record: I’m super happy that you folks are helping each outer out. Thanks to everyone who is participating.

I won’t add IE11 support to Comlink itself, it’s just too much maintenance and work and I don’t even have a way of properly testing. If you find a good solution, please document it here :)

Given the end of life of IE11 last year I think we can close this out now.
