I worked with Eliza in 1973 back at University of Florida. Had a copy of the source code. Don't remember for sure but I believe it was written in SmallTalk. Wasn't very big. I would use it in computer demos with a teletype terminal as the I/O device.
I once asked Eliza "How many stars are there in the Universe?" It took about 20 seconds to respond with "Enough."
