Do you use MonoBehaviours to implement behavior?
If ECS gets too boiler-platey for my liking I might try some of the "don't use MonoBehaviours" approaches people have suggested, perhaps with F# bundled into a .dll. I also saw that some mad scientists had bridged the gap between Clojure and Unity via a framework called Arcadia - we'll see!

interested in learning lisp, (specifically for games, but also for everything else including tui and gui applications for linux. currently have next to no programming knowledge, can i get forwarded some resources and some tips on what exactly i should do? any videos i should watch?
arcadia adds clojure (a lisp) to unity as a scripting language. You get to use a very good and well documented 3d game engine while still scripting stuff in your game in a lisp. there's a godot version too. The blender>unity/godot pipeline is pretty easy and documented. However, these game engines themselves are a lot to learn for your first game, especially if you're doing unorthodox stuff with them such as using lisp you won't find many tutorials.

Where Lisp Fails: at Turning People into Fungible Cogs.
Nowadays, Clojure can be used for this sort of stuff. Arcadia has been used to make real world games. Lead developer gave a talk about it a few years ago.

Godot appreciation post
Clojure started out on the CLR before the decision was made to focus on the JVM instead, and some people still maintain an unofficial ClojureCLR port. Some people used that to make Arcadia, which builds on ClojureCLR to make it work in Unity. Here's an old video of someone Clojure's REPL-driven development to make on-the-fly scene changes, kind of cool.

Unsure what to do with Clojure
Arcadia uses ClojureCLR to work with Clojure in unity. Also Godot engine version.

Compiling a Lisp to x86_64 (2020)
My understanding is that the Clojure community points everyone to Arcadia[0] since it's maintained and a bit more public about what their exact goals are. Unfortunately, neither are terribly well documented and so I've not personally used either

Unsure what to do with Clojure
You can use Clojure to make whatever you want! Right now I'm using it to build a database (https://github.com/unifydb/unifydb). Previously I've used it to build a static site generator (https://github.com/obelix-site-builder/obelix) and a browser extension to show Hacker News comments for a webpage (https://github.com/jdormit/looped-in).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Arcadia and looped-in you can also consider the following projects:
ArcadiaGodot
libpython-clj - Python bindings for Clojure
jme-clj - A Clojure 3D Game Engine (Wrapper), Powered by jMonkeyEngine
godot-fsharp-tools - A Godot Engine plugin to simplify using F# through the C# Mono language.
unifydb - A time-traveling graph database
obelix - Obelix: a purely functional static site generator
cljs-tetris
babashka - Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting
trial - A fully-fledged Common Lisp game engine
