This is wrong on so many levels it's borderline trolling. As if minifying and uglifying and mangling ASCII Javascript is so readable and accessible.

It was fine for displaying a "Hello dear user please enter your name" dialog in the 90s.

Now we are just joking ourselves pushing ASCII program code for full-blown web applications down the wire to the user.

If WASM isn't making that any better, it's not making it any worse either.

Well, for underhanded "premium plugin" devs, this opens opportunities. I understand your position.
