Hooo boy... I work in embedded and modern MCUs and modern compilers allow for well abstracted, readable code and small memory footprint. I currently work on 256k of RAM and 1M of Flash, which is plenty, but have previously worked on systems with a fraction of that and still it's possible to write readable code on these.
