That's... well... it's impossible for anyone other than yourself to answer that question. From what I have heard about it, it is a solid enough system for what is for (which is mainly soft real-time control systems, IIUC - I think it can be used for hard RT, but I'm not sure, and in any case hard RT usually only applies to embedded systems), so I doubt it would be a bad choice if that is what you have in mind, but for a general purpose OS, I would be hesitant to say yes.
(Side note: it is important to understand that the crucial aspect of RT is not raw speed, but consistency; people tend to forget that 'real time' doesn't just mean 'before time t', but also 'no sooner than time t′ '. For something like a bottling plant, or more seriously, a nuclear power station or an aircraft's control surfaces, being too fast is as bad as being too slow. Controlling an aileron? hard (must-perform) real time. Controlling a printer's laser sweep? Soft (best-performance) real time. Games and audio players? Not real time at all, since skips in a sound clip or screen tearing in a game aren't something that you need to avoid.)
It all comes down to what you are trying to accomplish. I wish I could give more of an answer, but it really isn't possible, especially without knowing more about what your goals are.
Given that, could you tell us more about your own plans, please?

Lisp programmers tend to seem very odd to outsiders, just like anyone else who has had a religious experience they can't quite explain to others.
