While Processing isn't logo-like in syntax it is logo-like in intention as in it tries to make it very easy for users to get graphics on to screen.

Processing is java-based, but it has spawned both a js verison 'p5.js' and a python version 'processing.py'.

Logo's intention was not to make it easy to get graphics on the screen. Turtle Geometry is a mathematics made for learning. And it is only one part of the bigger picture of problem solving, using a computer both to solve problems, and to learn about how to solve them.
99% of logo users only drew imperative pictures, and that it why logo is famous.
Terrapin published my LOGO Adventure on the C64 LOGO Utilities disk as an example of a simple non-graphical game that showed off Logo’s list processing and functional programming capabilities.

Paleotronic has ported it to their Apple Logo, which runs in their amazing 3D Apple ][ emulator!
