Elixir and the Phoenix framework work like this, with a process spawned per request.

'Process' is an extremely overloaded term. It's more of a green thread for Erlang VM applications.

It is a green thread, but Erlang's green threads each have their own heap/garbage collector, so they're not sharing memory.

Ive been hearing nothing but good things about Elixir, I may have to check it out.

Any recommended places to start with?

http://elixirforum.com is a good place to check out. There are a few excellent books out there to help you get started with OTP, which makes Elixir beastly, and Phoenix (a web framework) as well. The forums are an excellent place to find deals on books, too.
