Yes, but there are big differences too; see the "Compared to other Logos" section at http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/programming.html#sy...

Yes, NetLogo is lexically scoped, and it has first-class functions (we call them "tasks") and higher-order functions. But it isn't homoiconic (unlike e.g. Berkeley Logo) so it doesn't really qualify as a Lisp IMO.

Saw two great talks about PureScript at Strange Loop last week, one by the language designer, Phil Freeman, and another by Bodil Stokke. Both the language and — almost equally importantly! — the accompanying book seem really well done to me.
