game development in lisp

Is it doable? What do I use? Are there some books? Should I use a real programming language instead?

Starting with the simple server in the Worms game developed in Ikarus Scheme [16], the author implemented an SDL interface and server which currently works across Chez, Gambit, Ikarus, Larceny, PLT, and Ypsilon Schemes. The use of a server process does allow for rapid porting. While simple, the C server code required considerable debugging time and the author was forced to relearn why he had forgotten the C language. (Emphasis added.)
