a68 has been available for quite a while on Unix (FreeBSD):
See https://www.freshports.org/lang/algol68g

  The Algol 68 Genie project preserves Algol 68 out of educational
  as well as scientific-historical interest, by making a modern,
  well-featured hybrid compiler-interpreter written from scratch,
  which ranks among the most complete Algol 68 implementations.
  It features arbitrary precision arithmetic, complex numbers,
  parallel processing, partial parameterization, and formatted 
  transput, as well as support for curses, regular expressions,
  and sound.
