  Mame wrote a whole book about how he creates these. But unfortunately it's only available in Japanese. For a somewhat deep dive on this topic, see "quines, polyglot code and other fun computations" https://corecursive.com/quines-polyglot-code/ https://corecursive.com/quines-polyglot-code/ https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%82%E3%81%AA%E3%81%9F%E3%81%AE%E7%9F%A5%E3%82%89%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84%E8%B6%85%E7%B5%B6%E6%8A%80%E5%B7%A7%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%9F%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C-%E9%81%A0%E8%97%A4-%E4%BE%91%E4%BB%8B/dp/4774176435/ https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%82%E3%81%AA%E3%81%9F%E3%81%A...

  This quine is discussed (among other topics) in The Art of Code[0], one of the most captivating tech talks I've ever seen. [0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6avJHaC3C2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6avJHaC3C2U

  It's even more impressive when you notice that it uses esoteric languages as well, such as brainfuck and piet (which uses images).

    Also LOLCODE and PPT (punched tape) among others!

  You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.
