I'm curious: is Dylan a kind of Lisp?

That's about the size of it, although opinions differ on which type of
syntax is better.
Dylan is closely related to Scheme and any scheme program that doesn't use
eval or call/cc can be trivially converted into Dylan.
The reverse doesn't apply, primarily because Dylan is object-oriented and
Scheme isn't.
You can track down lots of information if you start at www.gwydiondylan.org.
