This is true, but there are a few projects that are branching beyond
the industry standard and seeing big wins as a result. Eve Online is
one example. It's a MMO space exploration and colonization game, and a
big chunk of the code is written in Stackless Python. I believe
similar benefits could

It's unlikely to be used in a core game engine,
EA is a publisher, not a producer.
And they did publish the videogame Abuse, which is made from a list
variant:

Interestingly, there is a thread about video game programming using
Lisp here:

Most game development is obviously still done w/ C++, even for backend
services which just astounds me. At best, some developers might be
using Tomcat for community sites and whatnot. The tide is probably
starting to turn, but there's not a lot of Clojure just yet.

Definitely possible. I was even thinking of finding a way to bridge Clojure
with the Android platform
Electronic Arts?
Most likely not.

Some work has been done on using clojure with jogl (the java opengl
library) Search this forum with jogl for details.
with the Android platform
I'm pretty sure there is also an android implementation of clojure.
Again, search this forum for android.
