@DestructibleWatermelon I already have an interpreter in 22 bytes of Jelly for the language Im' working on; however, the thing delaying me posting my answer is trying to prove the language Turing-complete
it's a really neat puzzle language, too, basically a cross between Incident and Malbolge, and yet somehow much more elegant than either

@Riker It's TC without reading the source, and every TC language has a quine.

The problem is the memory is on the same tape as the source so even if I don't really read the source the stuff I am printing has to be stored somewhere which is unfortunately the source.

Mistah Figgins
Mistah Figgins
I think it is possible to change the delimiter to something not in the program halfway through. The command following would be the "push as string" command, so the next token would be the entire code. The code as a token is the put or change delimiter command, so that after the string is read, there would be instances of the delimiter in the program. Then, the program would print the string, plus any characters used for the command
Certainly not optimal, I don't think, but interesting
 
Pavel
Pavel
@MistahFiggins Can you set your delimiter to empty, and if so what what happens then?
 
Mistah Figgins
Mistah Figgins
I don't really know. It might error, because I use Scanner's useDelimiter() function
But I could fix it so that it just doesn't match anything
 
Pavel
Pavel
So every character is parsed as it's own token
That would be golfier
 
Mistah Figgins
Mistah Figgins
Ooh, yea
would be interesting to make that the default
It would invalidate preexisting answers though
 
Pavel
Pavel
3:19 AM
I don't think there are very many

Q: What counts as reading one's own source when source and memory are the same?

Wheat WizardFor Quine programs one is not allowed to read the source of the program, for obvious reasons. However there are some programming languages where most or all of the memory has to be stored in the source of the program itself (see Self Modifying Brainfuck or Del|m|t). What constitutes reading the...

Mistah Figgins

@WheatWizard It "adds" that number to the number of commands to skip. When that number is greater than 0, it skips the next command and decrements
So it should just cancel out following skip commands
 
Wheat Wizard

What?

if you're already planning to skip 10 commands
