Now call that C program from some other program in another language.
Rust, to make it safe.
step 1:
unsafe fn()…Ah yes now I can… dereference a raw pointer (yes that’s essentially the only thing unsafe rust actually enables you to do, it doesn’t disable the borrow checker or anything else, it just allows you to play with pointers)
with open('program.c', 'w') as f: f.write( """I'm not actually going to copy down the program... But you get the idea of the joke. Right?""")May I present to you: https://github.com/mame/quine-relay
It’s… Beautiful.
