Interesting take.
I never learned Algol-68, but from pieces of info that I occasionally
got I was always thinking of it as rather similar to 'C'. 
Both languages originated from common ancestor (Algol-60) and changed
it in similar directions, e.g. blurring the line between operators and
expression, making function pointers first class citizen, allowing
declaration of variables at block scope. 
I think, in the past, when I remembered more about Algol-68, I had seen
more similarities.
