Wow, that was cool, never found that one when I went on a deep dive after discovering their quine relay. The other amazing ASCII program of theirs that I love is the Qlobe: http://mamememo.blogspot.com/2010/09/qlobe.html?m=1

Small fact about Isabelle: that's where the pipeline operator |> comes from. Here's a post about it with a few sources: http://mamememo.blogspot.com/2019/06/a-brief-history-of-pipeline-opera…
"also" isn't an excellent name for it, but I like the idea of giving names to operators instead of using things like >>=, <$>, <*>. I have a hard time reading code with it, as I always pause to think "okay, how should I read that?". I wonder if that's something you get used to, or a difference in how people think.

Fantastic!
Same fellow who did the "rotating globe" quine a few years back:

Check out Endoh's fantastic Rubykaigi presentation: http://mamememo.blogspot.com/2010/08/rubykaigi-2010.html.
He shows, among other things, ASCII-art quines with background music, and a hello world program in Ruby with only underscores.

This person made a quine in Piet: http://mamememo.blogspot.com/2009/10/piet-quine.html?m=1. The image there is broken, but there's a copy here: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/23255/103045.

There have been issues[1] with seccomp. Maybe try with seccomp disabled for that container?
--security-opt seccomp:unconfined
More info here[2].

It sounds like a biological multiquine.

An "actual" piet quine:

For me the image doesn't load, it's archived on stackexchange fortunately:

$ ../npiet-1.1/npiet quine.gif > quine2.gif
$ diff quine.gif quine2.gif
It's freakin' impressive.

Inspired by "The Qlobe", written in Ruby http://mamememo.blogspot.de/2010/09/qlobe.html

http://mamememo.blogspot.com/2009/10/piet-quine.html unfortunately not very aesthetically pleasing. More from the author here: http://yusuke.endoh.usesthis.com/

His translated version of the article http://mamememo.blogspot.com/2010/09/qlobe.html
(not that there is much to read :-) )
It's really impressive :-)
