As a hobby.

Obstacles:
  1) Lack of a free, modern, high-quality, standard GUI toolkit
     that would be the "obvious" choice for GUI programs in Lisp,
  2) Lack of standardization on FFI including low-level foreign interface
     (call-in, call-out) and object-oriented foreign interface (subclassing
     of C++ classes in Lisp),
  3) Lack of encapsulation features, like protected/private in other languages.
