>No need to obfuscation

Suddenly, the web is no longer open to inspection. I was so eager to see any language other than JS on the web, I didn't realize what wasm really meant until just now. I know where this is going.

While I know it's nice that you could open the source and explore, I don't see how people could value it above all the upsides WebAssembly is bringing us.

Can't link resources. Can't spider it. It's going to look like native app silos. Truly, Flash 2.0. As long as wasm has no GC, and JS requires GC, I'm not sure how well this will work though.

Google Closure Compiler ? javascript-obfuscator ? Proprietary code is obfuscated

wasm is a bytecode for the web, no more, no less

Did you like Flash? I don't think anyone misses it.
