Summary

In this chapter, we saw what modular programming is and learned different modular programming specifications. We learned about the future of modular programming and how to use it in web browsers for real projects. With the evolution of ECMAScript, we expect to see a further boost in features and performance, which will ultimately benefit both the end user and the developers.

In the next chapter, we're going to take a look at something known as the Reflect API, a shining new collection of methods for interceptable JavaScript operations.
