>Algol 68 did not have a simple grammar.
Algol-60 did, and that's the basis for comparison when somebody qualifies a language as "Algol-like". Some languages that have extremely close syntax to Algol are Pascal and Go.
Algol-68 is a later language, really a very advanced language, even more advanced that some "modern" languages. The criticism of its complexity should be considered within the context (year 1968).
