Please leave recursion to math and keep it out of (in particular C) software: it kills and will kill again.

An actual compsci professor would know real CPUs don’t run arbitrary recursion, right? Nobody could possibly be that siloed.
Could someone expand a little on this statement, or point me toward an applicable resource? How do “real” (modern?) CPUs prevent unwanted recursion? As in, not the compiler or the OS, but the CPU itself? I’ve been searching for a while now but I haven’t found anything that clears this up for me.
