This repository contains quines that i concocted. They are of varying complexity, but I tried to keep them as easy as possible.
There are no trailing newlines in the quines which makes directly executing them from the console without redirecting the output very ugly. I suggest you redirect the code and see for yourself whether the generated output is equivalent.
I know that my implementations are not the shortest possible, but I tried to make them as short as possible while at the same time maintaining readability. That means I introduced whitespace, tabs and newlines, which are juxtaposting the idea of code golf.
To make things easier for you, i've provided a Makefile. Just hack in make and dive
into the bindirectory. The scripts I have provided all follow the naming convention
quine_PROGRAMMINGLANGUAGE and are directly executable, except the Java and the F# versions,
the latter of which is a pain to run on Unix. For all you F# noobs(I know I am), a quick way
to make this as painless as possible:
fsharpi --use:quine_fsharp --quiet
But this will keep the interpreter alive. To exit it, type #quit;;(not very
intuitive, I know).
I was too lazy to create a manifest file for the java version, so you will have to run:
java -cp bin/quine_java.jar Q
And you're good to go.
The shell quine is at least compatible with zsh and bash.
