That example, onerous as it is, may be too generous, using readable 
labels and such.

The JS translation LC's looking at will use extensions to LLVM to 
produce, so the output would likely look more like the source you see at 
Google Maps - very, very difficult to convert into a human-editable 
form, arguably more akin to the output you get running any object code 
through modern disassemblers - useful only to experts who could probably 
rewrite your app from scratch faster than they could decode compact symbols.
