Oh, well beyond "very interesting". This type of modeling can yield results that are otherwise intractable. It is one of the primary reasons Thomas Schelling received a Nobel prize in economics. It should be in the toolkit of every applied mathematician or computer scientist.

I liked the tutorial #1, linked from here:

https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/

Is this only available for use within the GUI?

I can imagine how mathematicians would use it but what would be typical applications of a computer scientist?

Agent script looks like an amazing port:

Not in love with coffee script anymore but oh well.

The demos are great:
