I sure thought that there was a name, somewhere between quine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing) ) and polyglot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_(computing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_(computing) ), for this: a program in one language that, when run, outputs a program in another language that etc. I can't find the name or a good example (other than the parent post!), though.
