An ooc quine

👋 This page was last updated ~12 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?

Here's another article just for you:

Profiling linkers

In the wake of Why is my Rust build so slow?, developers from the mold and lld linkers reached out, wondering why using their linker didn’t make a big difference.

Of course the answer was “there’s just not that much linking to do”, and so any difference between mold and lld was within a second. GNU ld was lagging way behind, at four seconds or so.
