devRancid648273dFun fact: they obfuscated the code of this extension, which offers no protection but runs ~3x slower 🤡

Lensflare17469245d@devRancid Ah, javascript. What I wanted to say is that obfuscators for real languages shouldn’t make the code slower.

devRancid648245d@Lensflare 🤓 alright then show me a "real" language + obfuscator that isn't slowed down when replacing almost every operating with more code

Lensflare17469244d@devRancid I haven’t used obfuscators for more than a decade but back then it was Java.
IIRC, the code is not necessarily "more". But even if it is more, it doesn’t mean it’s slower. The magic of compilation.

VSCode Extension Store, served by our friends at @MS_Headquarts won't let me leave a negative review about their crappy python extensions that change their ways more often than other people change their underwear!
The traces of shit are similar though.
