ALGOL-68 was loved by people who would have never used ALGOL to begin with (and they didn't start doing so with ALGOL-68).
It was difficult to write compilers for, slow & far too complex.

And like go, it's loved by people who don't know ALGOLs and hated otherwise.
Go is basically Oberon with C-ish syntax, and Oberon is probably the Wirthiest of Wirth languages, basically everything Wirth thought was good distilled into a single language. And given that Wirth's whole family tree of languages exists because he objected to Algol 68 so hard he walked out on Algol...
Although Oberon not only had Oberon-2 as successor, it had Active Oberon, Oberon.NET, Zonnon, Component Pascal and Oberon-07, the later with multiple revisions.
