Wait until you see how computer programs are made.


'it compiles, ship it!'

except we don't even compile programs anymore... (in the traditional sense, anyway; I try to look the other way when build engineering does dark magic with webpacks and esbuilds)


At the point where JScrambler is implementing a VM in JavaScript to run the obfuscated code, I think it actually qualifies as being compiled. Which is unholy, but that's the world we live in.


Assuming there was inaccuracy in the author's approach, some poor low-level guy probably noticed the flaws and took it upon himself to correct it.
