Cloased Source JS

Is it even possible to write cloased source JS on the web? I don't want my code stolen by shitty startups.

Yes you can, its called WASM.

But JS is shitty by definition

Why would anybody want to steal crap? Do you use some unique trade secret algorithm, that must be protected? It is time for people to understand, that code is cheap, it is all about data.

http://ai.neocities.org/FirstWorkingAGI.html is open-source first working artificial intelligence in JavaScript (JSAI) for Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE). The JSAI now does something really neat while it is thinking with concepts. It announces in a little screen-band that the SpreadAct() mind-module is spreading activation from one concept to the same concept as the subject of other ideas in the knowledge base (KB). Anyone may take the OPEN SOURCE JavaScript AI and use it as a "landing page" for their own branch of evolutionary AI, or for advertising their honorable (but not dishonorable) products or services. See also http://medium.com/@AINowInstitute for some dire warnings about AI.

I am not interested in your sexbot, Mentifex. Admit your role.

obfuscated, yes

closed source, not exactly

javacript is often as closed source as any other closed source application. It's copiled/obfuscated to a javascript representation in the same way that proprietary programs are compiled to machine code. Reverse engineering something like google apps is as hard as reverse engineering a real binary program.

Actually reverse engineering binary program could be easier than reading its source code, because in assembly you deal with raw algorithm, unimpeded by language implementation quirks, stale comments, obscure variable names or template astronautics. There are numerous assembly analysis techniques, inapplicable to C/C++ source code.

While x86 is very ugly and old, with multiple hacks, JavaScript far surpasses it in complexity and non-intuitiveness.

someone just needs to invent a de-minification tool

minifiers are easy, shouldn't be hard amirite

and on that topic, what about decompilers/disassemblers?

didn't cudder say they were making one (or had made one)? Edited on 10/12/2018 00:55.

google JS beautifier.

nice, thanks for posting

You're absolutely correct, I should have said "at least as hard as"

There's one built into chrome. View minified code in the dev-view and press the {} symbol

Obfuscate my dubs.

nice base 7 dubs!
