Interesting, I didn't think of quines since I learned about and played with the fixed-point combinators. I never wrote a quine, I guess that's why. I'll try some time.
- agumonkey 11y agoArticles about derivation of quines and fixed points often start with their infinite expansion nature, and then imagine a way to build a meta level replicator. The Y combinator is mostly that, duplicates the function to make recursive, with a functional parameter protocol to pass it to its sibling self. Only my newb view.
