The SelfRep Challenge
Write a self-reproducing program,
that is, a program
- that is not empty, and finite,
- that processes no input (input is empty),
- that outputs itself,
i.e. prints its own program source text;
- that adheres to reasonable
coding conventions;
in particular, source lines must be no longer than 80 characters
(this makes for a more interesting challenge), and
