There's a Common Lisp implementation that sits on the JVM. It's called ABCL. It provides a Java API for loading and calling Lisp code as well as a Lisp API for calling Java code (although it is quite a bit more verbose than that provided in Clojure... nothing a few macros couldn't solve if it became a nuisance).
The community is what does it. I tried for years to get commercial work in Common Lisp. It never happened.
