Someone should mention Clozure CL - http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl
As you can see there is os x, freebsd, linux, solaris and windows port
and all of them use native threads (python still use green threads ?)
and development is pretty alive, they did planty of developing last
year[s], ccl licence permits you to deliver closed source programs ...
CCL is promising bright feature to CL since looks like the insist of
building stable implementation across most arch in use today
