Forth generates very compact threaded code it could be ideal for a 64k machine in that regard. However it may not be as performing as assembler, which much of GEOS depended on.

sensitive parts. The Canon Cat code was posted here not that long ago.
It was mostly in Forth but had a fair amount of Z80(iirc) assembly code.

threaded Forth. A good number of bytes can be shaved from a Forth
kernel applying such a strategy. In practice the C64 had much less
memory available to programs than 64K. At the end of the day it was
just a games machine (as was the Amiga).
