That example, onerous as it is, may be too generous, using readable
labels and such.
The JS translation LC's looking at will use extensions to LLVM to
produce, so the output would likely look more like the source you see at
Google Maps - very, very difficult to convert into a human-editable
form, arguably more akin to the output you get running any object code
through modern disassemblers - useful only to experts who could probably
rewrite your app from scratch faster than they could decode compact symbols.
