Using it for CG or FFI implementations is hardly worth mentioning. Also I do know at least one which doesn't: Symbolics LispMachineLisp. Most modern CL implementations do have it at least for some FFI-related code as C makes that very easy.

Lots of people do. Including me. There are at least many actively developed CL and Scheme implementations, getting new versions each month or even daily builds.
Lisp will never have support for concurrency or parallelism as that would be detrimental to the state of the bathhouse given the ignorance and stupidity of most gay developers

Not >>8, but it's really really simple to build a s-expression parser in whatever language and build your own DSLs.

I do plan on selling one of my projects when I'm content with it being good enough for public consumption, but no, not at the moment, however if you do want to see it used in commercial contexts there's a reasonably sized list of successful commercial projects (some rather large-scale, corporate stuff) on one of those Lisp wiki's.

i will search for them! I'm quite surprised, that corporations want to use not mainstream language. They are afraid new things and by using popular languages they may find a lot of potential employes or outsource project to India or China.

It's usually mostly projects done by small teams, even if the projects themselves may be large.
I would use Lisp on projects with many programmers, I'd imagine management to be a mess unless everyone is as skilled as you. Sadly languages like Java/C#/Python let everyone contribute are popular because they allow easily swapping out programmers as long as you retain an "architect" or two, and companies usually don't like dependence on anyone, but if you're the "founder" and initial coder, you can use any language you like.

Today low-level OS' API interface is written in C, and Lisp implementations need some glue C code to use it! What a shocking relevation!Nobody cares, SBCL is mostly Lisp anyway.

so what? it makes portability happen. who doesn't like to get up and move around from machine to machine? i'm constantly switching machines. light switches, toilet handles, the stove, the water faucet. even the piano. and they're all running on LISP.
