- striking 12y agoAlmost all JavaScript is easily changeable and replaceable and oftentimes being able to figure out what it's doing is a matter of intuition and a little imagination. Even the code of Google Docs isn't really that hard to understand if you tilt your head and squint a little. Obfuscation of C or otherwise native code can prevent people from modifying it or learning from it, and that is a problem to some people. However, that doesn't seem to exist in my view of JavaScript. It has never been a real problem as far as I have seen. I am open to seeing examples that I truly could not understand.
