Making it OO on a system with so little memory available to apps was an especially weird basic decision, I thought. There were cases where memory use was unavoidably bloated for no good reason, and meanwhile there wasn't enough space to actually do any architecture-astronaut OO stuff.
I wished the whole time they'd just given me a somewhat locked-down C, and I'm only a C-dabbler so that's not a preference I'd have due to great familiarity or anything.
It was overall somewhat more unpleasant, but less weird, than writing code for Roku. Most of the Roku weirdness was just because they had some new very-much-halfassed XML programming system you had to use for new apps at the time, which forced you to define public interfaces for objects in XML for no good reason while doing the actual work in Brightscript, which isn't gonna win any language design awards ever but is at least usable. Plus it's obscure so figuring all that out was tons of fun.
