Lest we forget, Pascal itself was an evolution of Algol-W, which was basically Algol with pointers and records. So in that sense, Pascal and the entire family of languages that it spawned are all direct descendants. Algol 68 doesn't really have anything in common with Algol 60 apart from name. The syntax is completely different, as is the overall feel of the language.
