A quine is a program that outputs its own source code. When you input
./examples/quine.wy
in the interpreter, it prints exactly the same string as its original source code.This commit adds a quine program that I've written in wenyan-lang.
The original idea of the implementation, that quines in JavaScript can be implemented via replacement of strings, is referenced from a code in this post by @amo12937 . I've mentioned the URL of this post inside the source code.
