I don't know what language was used, but I'd guess it was object oriented.
Unlike older languages that only compile the routines that are actually
used, object oriented compiles everything. That's why a program written in
C++ is up to 100 times as large as the same C version.

Subject: legOS and alternate operating systems
Why is the software associated with development so big? 70 megabytes for
the
legOs development system? I think there is something fundamental I'm
missing
here.
The RCX is an H8, an 8 bit micro, certainly no more complicated than a
68HC11.
Even the more complicated development packages are under 1 megabyte. Is a
lot
of the program GUI? It might be I'm spoiled by DOS. I just don't see why
it's so big.
