You know, as a rustacean myself, I do get the joy of seeing web stuff run fast, compiling code for the web, etc. And wasm is supposed to have a human-readable format so that “View Source” is still a thing!

So in an ideal world, I like wasm. In the real world though, where they’ve been dragging feet on web-assembly-text, I’m skeptical. Will that format–stripped of names and comments possibly, probably obfuscated–even be useful? Will companies actually use it, or will this all be watered down? Hard to say at this point.
