Forth is much better for creating tiny executables than C on 8-bit ISAs though, performance takes a hit because of all the calls/jmps, but it's still surprisingly good. C compilers on the other hand often create "obviously" dumb and inefficient code, at least in my experience (6502 may be better than Z80 in that regard though).
