Aside from obfuscating the source code to sell licenses, how does this benefit from WASM? Barcodes have been generated for decades on low-resource embedded devices. Even what would…

For server implementations that aren't braindead, that is indeed the important bit. Computers don't inherently know how to run PHP. If the request handler doesn't look at the file …
