This article revisits the Rekursiv, a custom computer built by Linn in the 1980s that enforced memory type and bounds checks in hardware, garbage-collected its own heap, and treated memory and disk as a persistent object store. The piece argues that ideas once seen as impractical have since appeared in modern Arm silicon, while the economics that helped kill the project have changed significantly.
