If they'd used a minifier, most or all of this embarrassment could have been avoided.

I was pretty surprised, but maybe they were hoping for security by obscurity as it was buried a little in the sources. I don't think devs as a whole have really grasped a lot of the trade-offs/repercussions of moving so much logic to the client side.
WebAssembly will help hide this!
Wouldn't decompiled/disassembled wasm code be about as readable as unminified JavaScript?
Not if there was a proper optimization pass while compiling.
