I think Gun has very similar philosophy, e.g. it is connection oriented and does not impose pooling and such.

Gun starts a process for each connection. The main idea for Mint was to not do this so that users can choose their own process structure.

With Gun it is also possible to create a specialized process structure albeit with more heavyweight processes behind each connection. Mint provides lightweight (possibly more efficient?) abstraction to achieve similar results. Thanks Eric and Andrea!
