The shortest ooc quine
👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.
A few days ago I posted an ooc quine. But while browing HackerNews, I found an even shorter one. The shortest!
Here it is, in its full glory
Can’t see anything? That’s an empty file. It will compile and run just fine. ooc doesn’t require a main function - you can just shove code in there that will run at the program’s initialization. If there’s none, no big deal! It’ll just not run anything.
That’s one nice side-effect of simple design.
Did you know I also make videos? Check them out on PeerTube and also YouTube!

When rustc explodes
One could say I have a bit of an obsession with build times.
I believe having a “tight feedback loop” is extremely valuable: when I work on a large codebase, I want to be able to make small incremental changes and check very often that things are going as expected.
Especially if I’m working on a project that needs to move quickly: say, the product for an early-stage startup, or a side-project for which I only ever get to do 1-hour work bursts at most.
