    You lose way more information during compilation than you do during minification. This makes reversing the latter much easier than the former.

    Remember that JS is much, much higher level than WASM is. Each language will have their own special behaviours and constructs when compiled to WASM, so reversing an algorithm can look completely differently depending on the source language and environment.

      Ya, okay that is understandable.

      To be honest I have never tried a wasm reversing challenge. I may need to give it a shot.
