I am agree, that wasm will be on par with generated/minified JS right now, but I predict that wasm will beat JS in future versions. My prediction is based on experience. It is very easy to introduce a binary thing which is hard to map to flat text. I.e. first version of wasm will be 1:1 map to JS, but NEXT versions of wasm will introduce optimizations, which are quite possible in compact binary format but are not possible in flat text format, so 1:1 map from wasm to JS will be broken.
