Many sites still use Javascript that way, but some use it for major programs that do large jobs. For instance,
Google Docs downloads into your machine a Javascript program which measures half a megabyte, in a compacted form
that we could call Obfuscript because it has no comments and hardly any whitespace, and the method names are one
letter long. The source code of a program is the preferred form for modifying it; the real source code of this
program is not available to the user.
