Any of those with recent Lisp experience have any opinions about

What I've googled so far looks a bit rudimentary - mostly based on
unix fork semantics. I'm looking for something much lighter-weight,
Erlang-style, which could support thousands of cheap concurrent
threads. In Erlang, the cost of such threads is comparable to the
cost of a function call.
There's Termite [1], it's based on Gambit-C Scheme [2] and implements
Erlang style concurrency and distributed programming. AFAIK, Gambit-C
is also one of the faster Schemes.
Or you use Erlang as Vlad suggested. I've started something like this
and I'm using libEGO for the move generation. You can have a look at
the code but be aware that it doesn't do much of interest right now
(just random playouts) and I'm also an Erlang newbie. Anyway here's
