We should bug people writing polyfills to learn Web IDL, etc. I've started writing a Learn Web IDL for Web Devs (was actually going to try to write a book about it, but it's quite time consuming). I can contribute what little I have right now. Still not sure what the best way to teach people Web IDL is… hands on… videos… etc.


I think that you might be misunderstanding Francios' point on that one
-- essentially he is saying that some native features help enable our
ability to prolly/pollyfill -- for example, MutationObservers.  We
want to help raise the priority of these by providing use-cases and
feedback and help identify others where they make sense, explain why
and advocate with editors where appropriate.
