when you've got a complicated concurrent architecture that can't be solved with the basic concurrency primitives and can't be clearly reasoned about (without lots of vague parentheticals), the problem ain't in the lack of equally complicated concurrency APIs

I thought it was naughty dog who had the bespoke artisanal lisp game logic engine that only one person on the planet could comprehend?

but yeah, expecting career game programmers to achieve anything outside of their c++ comfort zone whilst maintaining quality, usability, functionality and delivery schedule is madness. doubly so in when dabbling in the chaos magic of 2010 web tech.

has anything non trivial and worthwhile ever been written in lisp? i know i can't think of anything off the top of my head, and it's not like something of that vintage hasn't had time to bear fruits. fortran i can at least say has provided plenty of numerical routines that'll be used for millennia to come

the semi-procedural musical auto-accompaniment engines in yamaha keyboards are based on a system modelled in lisp

of course, it's was implemented as primitive C & macros for micro-itron with countless nested stack allocated interim string buffers, ready to overflow in the presence of one too many 32nd note in a bar 'cos suffering makes the music sweeter

Good news! In my experience every localisation venture gets poo poo-canned as soon as the boss learns that it will cost more than an person-afternoon piping the code base through google translate.
