Not sure what you mean by ‘human runnable’; perhaps ‘human readable’. Assuming that’s what you mean, have you tried reading the asm.js code that Emscripten outputs with optimisations enabled. I wouldn’t call that human readable, nor runnable for that matter. asm.js is as readable as assembly language code and wasm will probably be as readable as machine code. Since one of the design goals is to be polyfillable it will be possible to disassemble back to asm.js and then you’re back to where we are today. In other words, don’t panic and bring a towel ;) Best regards, Pepijn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "emscripten-discuss" group.
