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!

Engineering a Rust optimization quiz
There are several Rust quizzes online, including one that’s literally called the “Unfair Rust Quiz” at https://this.quiz.is.fckn.gay/, but when I was given the opportunity to record an episode of the Self-Directed Research podcast live on the main stage of EuroRust 2025, I thought I’d come up with something special.
The unfair rust quiz really deserves its name. It is best passed with a knowledgeable friend by your side.
