it could be allowed, as long as glitch admins can see the unobstufacated code to prove you aren’t doing anything bad but you want to prevent reverse engineering as much as possible
(function(a, b) {
var c = function(d) {
while (--d) {
a['push'](a['shift']());
}
};
c(++b);
}(e, f));
var g = function(a, b) {
a = a - 0x0;
var c = e[a];
return c;
};
console[_0x1f4a('0x0')]('Hello\x20World!');
I tried to replace some of the variable names just for the hell of it… What exactly does this do? I’m not familiar with -- and ++ (at least in front of variables). From what I can tell its some kind of anonymous function that’s messing with arrays.
Just to add on to this, it could also be that if some bad actor would trick a Glitch user to put, for example, a crypto miner in their project, it would likely be obfuscated. Maybe that’s another reason they listed it on the help center article, so that users would be wary of accepting obfuscated code into their project.
Obfuscated code isn’t listed in the Content Restrictions section of the Terms of Service:

although if it’s in the ToS somewhere else, please someone point that out
hmmm, aren’t binaries technically a way to hide something bad. The only thing that can tell you what it does is the name. I suppose you can try to execute it and look at the help output but besides that there’s no way to tell if it’s a hidden crypto miner besides disassmebling it
