I'm not familiar with the JavaScript story, but if he really recommended against using it, there was certainly a valid reason.
His point was that thousands of line of hardly obfuscated Javascript (think Google Docs) is hard to recognize from binary-only distribution, which I can see as pretty good argument. And yes I know that this obfuscation is not for malicious reasons (it's compression as well), but still, it would be lovely if source for Google Docs was available somewhere.
