Is executable size not a good reason? Also, I don't know how you think there's a noticeable difference of readability between minified asm.js and textual wasm

Is executable size not a good reason? Also, I don't know how you think there's a noticeable difference of readability between minified asm.js and textual wasm for the average person. It might be more difficult for a programmer to read the wasm, but I can't imagine that "disassembled" asm.js is particularly readable in the first place (and both are completely incomprehensible to a non expert)

No, because size is about same after compression. Average person see no difference at all. Moreover, I tested tank demo right now, and asm.js version is about 6% faster at loading (1.99s vs 2.12s from cache at Firefox 57.0/Fedora 26).
