You might also be interested in the story of SISCOG (http://www.siscog.eu/upload/GESTAO-DE-LISTAS/News/PDF/eclm-2...) - a massive transport infrastructure system designed in Common Lisp. I'm sure Clojure would have been chosen if it was developed today.

>I'm sure Clojure would have been chosen if it was developed today.

Clojure was already available in 2013. The paper shows they made use of the CLOS object-oriented system, which is a key feature of Common Lisp.

2013 is just the publication date. The document cites an implementation of their London Underground system which has been in production since 2008 and a another within the Dutch rail system dating back to 1998.
