Pipe a quine into a compiler, run the output. Bow before my might simple mortals. -- For fun a while back I was playing with the concept of self modifying bash. A bash script that duplicates and modifies a random character/ adds a character in a random location, or deletes a character. Then running the output and the original file. Obviously I got a lot of broken scripts, my point is self writing software is possible, automated, well thought out edits are a long way off.
