With Web Assembly it will be the same. There will be tools to help you read the code. You may proclaim that they won't work as well but I think it's premature to say that. Web Assembly is not machine code.

Web assembly is very generic byte code.

I fear I’d end up spending ages in IDA breaking a DRM scheme implemented in WebAssembly, just like I did with NaCl.

That’s not neat.
