The view source is not a non-sequitor. What would prevent a server from refusing to stream the source? It would have to be part of the VM spec that the source must be made available, and that seems unlikely.

I look at Flash, which I used to develop in (this is not meant to be a comment on Flash itself). There are amazing people out there doing amazing things, but because the source isn't right there, a blog post with code snippets is mandatory. Whereas with JS you can typically learn something even if it's obfuscated (to an extent).
