While we never got it to production, we had a project based on the transputer in my first startup back in 1987 (a couple of naive high school kids in Denmark bootstrapping a high end workstation company). Our plan was to use it to create a infinitely expandable workstation for both 3d and audio work. The design of the transputer was incredibly elegant, it was pretty much as easy to design with as a 6500 one chip computer and didn't require any extra support chips. The Occam language was also pretty elegant for its time. It was essentially parallel Pascal. I don't remember it having any OO features, but the automatically parallelized looping constructs were unique for their time.
