Is there a polyfill for es6 arrow function?
the following code throws syntax error exception in IE, is there a polyfill to make IE support arrow functions?
var myFunc = ()=>{ alert('es6'); } myFunc(); Note: I don't want to use any transpiler.
Thanks in advance

An arrow function doesn't have its own this value and the arguments object. Therefore, you should not use it as an event handler, a method of an object literal, a prototype method, or when you have a function that uses the arguments object.
Introduction. The 2015 edition of the ECMAScript specification (ES6) added arrow function expressions to the JavaScript language. Arrow functions are a new way to write anonymous function expressions, and are similar to lambda functions in some other programming languages, such as Python.
Since regular functions are constructible, they can be called using the new keyword. However, the arrow functions are only callable and not constructible, i.e arrow functions can never be used as constructor functions. Hence, they can never be invoked with the new keyword.
Arrow functions are anonymous functions (the functions without a name and not bound with an identifier). They don't return any value and can declare without the function keyword. Arrow functions cannot be used as the constructors. The context within the arrow functions is lexically or statically defined.
A polyfill can add or fix missing built-in classes, functions, objects... but it cannot modify a compiler's accepted syntax.
