Line 3: : The language was created by E. T. Irons and I remember it being claimed that IMP stood for Iron's Magnificent Plaything. Unfortunately, I can't find a source for that claim. [[User:MediaMangler\|MediaMangler]] ([[User talk:MediaMangler\|talk]]) 06:15, 18 May 2012 (UTC) I remember hearing that Irons got interested in extensible syntax languages from Tony Brooker and the Atlas Autocode Compiler Compiler which was also to some extent an extensible syntax system. Sorry I do not have a reference for that at the moment but I'll return here if I find it. It is probably just a coincidence that Edinburgh's extension of Atlas Autocode came to also be called Imp. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures\|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/24.243.109.9\|24.243.109.9]] ([[User talk:24.243.109.9#top\|talk]]) 02:27, 24 January 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
