'''IMP''' is an early [[Systems programming|systems]] [[programming language]] that was developed by [[Edgar T. Irons]] in the late 1960s through early 1970s, at the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA). Unlike most other systems languages, IMP supports [[Syntax (programming languages)|syntax]]-[[extensible programming]].
Even though {{citation needed span|date=June 2020|reason=While presumably true, the actual quote deserves a specific cite amongst a plethora of similar statements|its designer refers to the language as "being based on [[ALGOL]]"}}, IMP excludes many ''defining'' features of that language, while supporting a very non-ALGOL-like one: syntax extensibility.
