If it ends up executing IL, then tools like Reflector will probably make it easier to read and explore the code than minified JS

I’m sorry, but have you actually written tools to take apart obfuscated and minified JS vs. webasm?

I’ve actually done that to research and break some systems, and webasm is an order of magnitude worse than JS.

My understanding was that, at least for this example, is that the DNA runtime is loading raw IL, not webasm, and the interesting site specific stuff will be in IL. I do not doubt what you're saying about webasm.

That’s until someone, like Microsoft, makes a serious version of this, and integrates automated obfuscation.
