JavaScript code is visible in developers console, no need to hack, as for heavy languages .... have you ever heard about reverse-engineering/decompiling?

Directly, no. Indirectly yes, it is possible to get the source code indirectly by hacking

It is easy to hack Java programs source code with JDGUI. But! Smart developers can obfuscate their code with ProGuard like me. (no, i'm not smart)
