An ooc quine

👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.

While preparing my next post about ooc documentation yet again, I stumbled upon an old ooc quine of mine. Here it is in integrality for your pleasure:

q := 34 as Char l := [ "q := 34 as Char" "l := [" "]" "for (i in 0..2) {" " l[i] println()" "}" "for (i in 0..12) {" " q print(); l[i] print(); q println()" "}" "for (i in 2..12) {" " l[i] println()" "}" ] for (i in 0..2) { l[i] println() } for (i in 0..12) { q print(); l[i] print(); q println() } for (i in 2..12) { l[i] println() }

It is very much inspired from the Wikipedia examples for a quine.

Can you find a shorter one?

(JavaScript is required to see this. Or maybe my stuff broke)

Did you know I also make videos? Check them out on YouTube!

Here's another article just for you:

Working with strings in Rust

There’s a question that always comes up when people pick up the Rust programming language: why are there two string types? Why is there String, and &str?

My Declarative Memory Management article answers the question partially, but there is a lot more to say about it, so let’s run a few experiments and see if we can conjure up a thorough defense of Rust’s approach over, say, C’s.
