Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to imperative attribution. In aspects, metadata of a managed runtime environment may be set by imperative statements included in code of a program executing in the managed runtime environment. A metadata consumer may request the metadata. A metadata identifier of the metadata requested may be provided implicitly or explicitly. A parameter that indicates how to obtain the metadata may also be provided. In response, the metadata may be obtained and provided. The metadata may be computed at parse time, run time, or another time and may be computed based on state available to a managed runtime environment at the time the metadata is computed.
