Just for comparison, I fired up Think Pascal and made Hello world!
Plain Hello world, closes so quickly that you don't have time to see it:
4625 bytes.
Including ShowText and while not Button do; 4639 bytes.
Yes, less than 5k! Progress?
You forgot the 1MB Mac ROM :)
That's also the main difference between C and FPC: C programs by default
are dynamically linked, so all of the standard RTL functionality that
gets linked into an FPC program is not there in a C program most of the
time.
It's also why golang programs are larger: those are statically linked as
well.
