scheme common-lisp functional-programming

Common Lisp or Scheme for server-side?

I wonder if some functional languages are used for web development and which are most useful and supported with that goal?

Solution

PLT Racket has a web server- it's an up-to-date, actively developed Scheme offshoot, and may be something that you want to look into. Here's some documentation:
