It's unlikely to be used in a core game engine, even Java is no good there as these guys need pretty low-level access to the hardware (there's no way in Java to write your own custom allocator, or use different allocators for different classes, for example). But for higher level/scripting type stuff, it could definitely happen, as far as I can tell the most popular language for game scripting at the moment is Lua, but there are a huge number of custom 'little-languages' that ship with various engines. And, of course, for multiplayer stuff Clojure would be a superb choice for writing the server side in.
