Unfortunately, we don't have any particular case studies or software 
that is generally available.   Although we tend to do our development 
in Lisp, we often deliver in Java or C++ instead.  That means that we 
usually do most of our programming directly in Stella, rather than in a 
particular language, preferring only to use a small amount of "glue" 
code for connecting to outside services.

If you have some more specific concerns, please feel free to post 
questions here.  I'll do my best to answer them.
