I love hearing about that sort of stuff too... Especially video games (GOOL and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Oriented_Assembly_Lisp and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.friendlyvi...) and Mars rovers (
http://www.flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html) and other things that now are dominated by other languages. With Lisp, I'm always reminded of this quote:
"Please don't assume Lisp is only useful for Animation and Graphics, AI, Bioinformatics, B2B and E-Commerce, Data Mining, EDA/Semiconductor applications, Expert Systems, Finance, Intelligent Agents, Knowledge Management, Mechanical CAD, Modeling and Simulation, Natural Language, Optimization, Research, Risk Analysis, Scheduling, Telecom, and Web Authoring just because these are the only things they happened to list."
