For languages which don’t compile down to machine code, like PHP, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python,
Perl or Ruby, obfuscation and (if it doesn’t use byte code) minification is really the best you
can get. Such languages necessarily cannot be compiled down to the metal, so if you really don’t
want anyone to read your code, I’m not sure there’s anything you can do. Then again, even x86
machine code can be decompiled.
