About
Babel is a 
JavaScript compiler mainly used to convert ECMAScript 2015+ (ES6) code into an older JavaScript (ES5) version to maximize browser compatibility.
Modernizr is an open-source feature detection library that identifies browser support for 
HTML, 
CSS, and JavaScript features and allows websites to adapt accordingly.
It enables developers to detect supported browser features at runtime, apply progressive enhancement, load polyfills only when required, and provide fallbacks for unsupported features.
