- maeln 7y agoWhat can't you do? How is it any easier to audit minified JS than a WASM blob ? Everytime this argument is raised there is no valid argument to explain why WASM would be much worse than the current state of JS.

- maeln 7y agoThen please enlighten us and share with us what is wrong.
- pumanoir 7y agoMinified JS (even with single letter variables and all) is still a high level language which is much easier for humans to follow than bytecode. That was only an example of it being a valid concern. I actually love WASM (specially the s-exp representation) and have implemented a compiler that compiles to it, but it's important to listen to valid concerns even if we really like a technology.
