It really is.

Or maybe a mix of Pascal, PL/I, and /bin/sh.

In designing the language interpreted by the shell, he has taken several features directly from ALGOL 68.
However he has also done one improvement, renaming the bracket pair keywords "do" and "od" to "do" and "done", responding thus to the criticism of many programmers towards ALGOL 68, that "od" sounds odd.
