EO might be responsible for a large amount of elm being the stand out
memory waster, but I suspect there's another reason.

Many decades ago I came up with a plan for a "widget set" that I called
NAWS, Not A Widget Set.  The basic idea is that you could create a tiny
set of very generic building blocks that could be used to create a wide
variety of the sorts of widgets other widget sets are full of.  Instead
of creating lots of pre packaged widgets.  Even if OO principles are
used, creating lots of pre packaged widgets uses a lot more then I
think my NAWS would.

On the other hand, I never got around to actually writing NAWS, so I
never got to prove this.

Elm is full off all sorts of odd widgets.  I suspect that might be
using up a lot of memory just sitting around doing nothing.
