"Real" work is admittedly a bit careless choice of words. Non-academic
work is often more concerned with delivering stuff, while academic
work is more exploratory in nature (and often without the obligation
to deliver anything but research papers). Scheme/Lisp like languages
are undoubtedly better for exploratory work, because of the "plastic"
nature of the languages themselves (macros help here).
