I agree. Lisp is one of the languages that people love to talk about rather than show off their projects

I do like to talk about Lisp.

I've also written or contributed to several projects and products written Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, and (back when it was a Lisp) Dylan. These include, but are not limited to the following. Some of these are projects or products that I created entirely on my own; some are collaborations, or projects to which I contributed.

Some of these were years ago. Some of them are still on the market or under development.

- Panels: a constraint-based programming-by demonstration system

- GATE: a knowledge-based machine-control and compatibility-testing system used at Apple

- bauhaus: an operating system for mobile devices

- SK8: a rapid-application-development system

- The documentation toolchain for a startup's network-security product, later acquired by Cisco

- Clozure Common Lisp: A free and open-source Common Lisp compiler and development system

- Alpaca: a WYSIWYG word processor with Emacs-like customization features

- A syntax-aware diffing tool created under contract

- A rules engine for a set of educational games for the Office of Naval Research

- The entire control and UI stack for a forensic fingerprint livescanning product

- Delectus: A list manager for end users on macOS

- Categories: a loadable language-agnostic object system with configurable data model and dispatching

- The Fabric: a prototype immersive 3D networked multiplayer game

- clio: a work-in-progress cross-platform GUI framework

- OddBabble: a prototype of a knowledge-based social network

- Bard: a novel Lisp implementation

- kons-9: a 3D content-development system
