Common Lisp is timeless in my opinion. :) STMX is a high performance STM implementation for Common Lisp.
https://github.com/cosmos72/stmx On SBCL it even compiled down as an optimization to Intel TSX assembly instructions (which incidentally were disabled by the manufacturer unfortunately a couple of years ago due to a major bug; I am not sure if they fixed the bug in newer chips yet). In any event, it's still a great implementation.
