The principle behind RAD the design is that the framework can set up an =

object hierarchy as designed in the IDE. The Lazarus/Delphi approach is to =

store the properties in resource, then load and construct the objects =

using runtime type information.

The has some consequences for the exe size. Of course RTTI is always in. =

But also, all properties in a component are always used (the compiler =

doesn't know what is in the resource file). So, a lot of code ends up in =

the executable.

Therefore, I believe RAD with KOL will remain a dream. Make the LCL =

smaller, there are probably some opportunities to do so.
