Although I take your points, I disagree that JavaScript is more auditable as-is. In either case I will need tools to unwind/flatten/de-obfuscate the code and audit it. I believe it would take me about the same amount of time in either case, depending on the scope of the audit. Regardless, it’s a trade off. Although I agree we should have a web that doesn’t need JavaScript to function - I believe that is a separate argument - I think in this case, while we already have it, I’ll take WebAssembly for the speed and new applications it helps support. I certainly wouldn’t want to see “Web Assembly” blobs in my browser that I’m not allowed to inspect, which again is another argument, IMO.
