Unless I'm completely missing something the "text version" you're talking about is just WASM and there's quite a difference between that and minified JS.

ex:

   end $label121
   get_local $var7
   get_local $var9
   call $func3444
   get_local $var7
   call $func1500

How is that any more readable than deobfuscated js?

    func1500(func3444(var7, var9), var7)

or more likely:

    gw(kl(s,i),s)

Yes this is what I am talking about. Once you know the instruction, I fail to see how it is more difficult to understand than javascript.

That certainly is a take.

That's like saying x86_64 assembly is as easy to understand as C. High level languages exist to make code easier to understand.

wasm is higher-level than x86 (or any other native) assembly.
