I have never heard of Pike or societyserver before

pike/roxen had a brief window of growth in the 90s but the leaders at the roxen company (not the devs) missed the opportunity to work with the FOSS community.

pike is fully C-syntax, and it is very performant, so that may be interesting for you.

societyserver is my fork/continuation of a university project called open-sTeam that stopped development more than a decade ago. i continue to use it and when i am not busy earning money try to work on it, but i haven't yet been able to build a community around it.

the process isolation you talk about sounds like something that erlang promises as well, but i don't know enough about erlang to tell. i'd be curious to learn more though.

open-sTeam/societyserver built an object-level access control system. method calls on others object are being intercepted and only allowed to pass if the caller has the necessary permission to access that object.

it's not process isolation, but also a concept i find interesting
