What's stopping future web developers and site owners from redesigning their websites as WASM binary "clients" that connect to a server in order to render websites?

This would let them block unsavory actions, like saving images, right clicking, copy/paste, and they could embed ads in the "client" to thwart adblocking, and even run bitcoin miners in order to make money off of every single user visiting their site.

probably public backlash. as much of a corporate hellhole were in right now we still have the basic trappings of capitalism and such a stupid fucking move would never be tolerated by the general public, not even the tech illiterate ones.
>>
>>60865035
The public is already conditioned to expect websites to run slow as fuck, they won't care if visiting their favorite news site suddenly makes their computer spin up their fans to MAX SPEED, I've already seen this happen just by going to youtube.
>>
>>60865050
if websites literally run bitcoin miners on your pc that would hit the news real quick and the companies would have to change real quick or risk shutting down.
a while back a big cs pug service esea did this to people who downloaded their client and as soon as it hit public knowledge they lost tons of subs and had to restructure their entire management.

WASM will not have more power than current Javascript VMs do, so as much as I hate WASM, it doesn't make things any worse in that regard.

You can see it in the source code because javascript isn't a compiled language.

WASM is a binary, you have plausible deniability I doubt computer illiterates will even know the implications of a website hijacking your computer's CPU to make the owner money.
>>
>>60865068
Basically this. It's not like wasm code gets free reign over the browser. I don't get how people are thinking this is gonna make it possible to prevent downloading images and such.

>as much as I hate WASM
What do you not like about it? From what I understand, it seems like an improvement over asmjs, which would allow for porting complex C/C++ libraries and whatnot for client-side use.

>You can see it in the source code
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. Minified or obfuscated javascript is not source code.
>>
>>60865122
It's actually not a "binary" it's like the intermediate language that LLVM uses before it compiles source code into a binary. It's I guess obfuscated but it actually might be more readable than minified javascript which is really common these days

Not a fucking chance. So long as facebook still works they'll eat that shit up.

Why
>>
>>60865122
Have you ever looked at the typical javascript loaded by a website?
>>
>>60865127
Because it aims to replace Javascript, plaintext scripts that are by default easy to read, with binary blobs, that are by default extremely difficult to make sense of. And authors' response to this is "but the dev can choose to attach source code to his binary blob!"

What's stopping devs from including bitcoin miners right now?

You could write a js bitcoin GPU miner that takes advantage of webgl frag shaders to do sha256 hashing.
>>
>>60865009
Even better mining from some background application.

Or even funnier, inside a game where you have an excuse to use all the resources.
