Have you tried lobster[0]? I think it took a lot of inspiration from Smalltalk in how it handles closures and control structures, in that it tries to make function call syntax work like control structures[1].
Actually, looking at it's design history[2] it took a lot of inspiration from a lot of languages before ending up where it is now (or maybe "where it's taking a break for now" is a better way of putting it). So it's no surprise that Van Oortmerssen tried to keep the best bits of every language he visited.
