Next, it teaches how to create proxies, and use it to intercept and customize operations performed on objects.&nbsp;Finally, it explains old modular programming techniques such as IIFE, CommonJS, AMD, and UMD and also compares it with ECMAScript modules and demonstrates how modules can increase the performance of websites when used.</p>
