The Rekursiv computer was created by David M Harland in the late 1980s for Linn Smart Computing in Glasgow, Scotland. The main feature of this machine was its ability to execute object-oriented instructions in hardware.

It was a machine that operated directly on objects rather than bits, nibbles, bytes and words. The advantage of this approach was that it only did valid operations on the objects. It had intrinsic interest but was not commercially viable.

One of the last known copies of a Rekursiv computer ended up at the bottom of the Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow. Jim Austin\'s collection (http://www.computermuseum.org.uk/) possibly holds the last existing machine (a card that goes in a sun).
