Yes, I think big and ugly like java. Here are a few numbers. Python2.3
and python2.3-dev total under 16MB of space. An attempt to install muine
tried to use over 60MBs disk space. Python memory footprint is under 9MB
in virtual memory, where mono is over 40MBs. Perl has about the same
picture of memory and disk usage as python and I do not think either
python or perl are small. I have just compiled a personal version of
python that fits in under 5MBs total, and that is still too fat in my
book.
