I find it rather rare for GNU to actually use (any) lisp or support it. Sometimes I have a feeling that only a few hard working people somehow carry the torch of Guile as standard extension language of GNU project. :(
Guix uses it extensively. I'm away from a computer now but I'm sure there are some gifted minds working on it. Andy Wingo, others.
And anyways, isn't that the case with most software? HN loves APL, but there's only a few implementations around any more, Arc used to be the big topic of HN, it's all but dead, software comes and goes.
Scheme will die someday, or change enough that its something different, but the lessons of programming with linked lists and eval will stick around in those that bother to learn them. Ie, people like you and I.
Maybe you should check the Savannah repo. Maybe they need some work done that you could do!
