Where might one look to find examples of such code? I've never found algol outside of wikipedia

https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:ALGOL_68

https://github.com/search?q=algol68&type=repositories

Without knowing what your interests/motivations and backgrounds are, it is hard to make good recommendations, but if you didn't know about rosettacode or github I figured I should start with that

What I'm taking away from this is that there's absolutely zero code of interest that is Algol 68

Interests vary!

Just because you can’t find something interesting doesn’t mean it isn’t interesting.

That lesson once learned pays dividends

Old papers and computer manuals from the 1960's.

Many have been digitalized throughout the years across Bitsavers, ACM/SIGPLAN, IEEE, or university departments.

Also heavily influenced languages like ESPOL, NEWP, PL/I and its variants.

You can find some modern Algol 68 code, using the modern stropping which is the default in GCC, at https://git.sr.ht/~jemarch/godcc

Godcc is a command-line interface for Compiler Explorer written in Algol 68.
