alt Hacker NewsWhat about obfuscated WASM blobs? At least obfuscated JS is still basically source code being interpreted, with WASM we will be running proprietary obfuscated binaries in the browser.

I'd rather deal with an obfuscated WASM blob than obfuscated JS.

Obfuscated javascript could still import a WebAssembly polyfill, if there really was any advantage in doing so: https://github.com/evanw/polywasm
Since WebAssembly instructions are much easier to reason about, you could probably auto-optimize away a lot of the obfuscation, like "this is a silly way to do X, so we can just do X directly".
