This is the situation : I mostly program C# and have written types in it I don't want to lose. At the same time I would like to learn functional programming. The obvious answer of course is F#.
But for everything apart from C# I use emacs as an editor...

I've been a UNIX sysadmin for a long time, and aside from automating tasks with shell scripting, some light PHP work, and a few simple C programs, I've never done much in the way of programming. I recently decided to stretch my mind a bit and learn Common...

Did you try Lispbox ?
Well, a good place to start would be the executing lisp section of the info, and interact with an inferior process (a new process spawned by Emacs, in this case a lisp process.

I have read that most languages are becoming more and more like lisp, adopting features that lisp has had for a long time. I was wondering, what are the features, old or new, that lisp does not have? By lisp I mean the most common dialects like Common...

I'm trying to translate some Common Lisp code into Scheme code. The Common Lisp code has a deftype . Are deftype s in Scheme the same as deftype s in Common Lisp? How do you translate a deftype in Common Lisp into equivalent code in Scheme?

See CLHS:Type Specifiers for a description of what a type specifier can be in Common Lisp.
You will have to translate type Scheme equivalent to Common Lisp deftype .
Common Lisp deftype doesn't have an exact Scheme equivalent.

I know that this is subjective and all, but still, can you guys (and gals) provide some list of serious applications that were written in Lisp (perhaps along with what Lisp it is)?

Is there a PEAR kind library for lisp? I hope there is, but I read somewhere that one of the disadvantages of lisp is its lack of serious libraries. I find that hard to believe since lisp is half a century old now.

Common-lisp.net hosts a lot of Lisp projects.
Mudballs is also worth a look.
As jlf said www.cliki.net is a good starting point manager for lisp libraries.
The Common Lisp Wiki is a good place to start.

If your-lisp-implementation uses a image, than first you ( or the compiler vendor will ) boot strap an image, and save it.

Some implementations of Scheme offer Lisp macros in addition to Scheme macros, but this is not required an introduction to Scheme macros.
Scheme macros ("hygienic macros") are completely different from traditional Lisp macros.
