The 'JavaFlow' project mentioned seems to an attempt at doing this:

This approach has worked well for me and the performance is quite
usable. Although I do get constant requests from the project manager to
find a way to rewrite things in Java as he never was a fan of using
Scheme and is concerned it may put customers of the system off it. The
developers on the other hand seem to have enjoyed learning Scheme and
consider it an advantage over Java.
