Quine Relay

What this is

This is a Ruby program that generates Scala program that generates Scheme program that generates ...(through 59 languages in total)... REXX program that generates the original Ruby code again.

Language Uroboros

(If you want to see the old 50-language version, see 50 branch.)

Usage

1. Install all interpreters/compilers.

You are (relatively) fortunate if you are using Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn". First, you have to type the following apt-get command to install all of them.

$ sudo apt-get install algol68g bash bf boo clisp clojure1.4 cmake \
  coffeescript f2c fp-compiler g++ gauche gawk gcc gforth gfortran ghc \
  ghostscript gnat gnu-smalltalk gobjc golang groovy icont iconx \
  intercal iverilog jasmin-sable libpng12-dev llvm lua5.2 make maxima \
  mono-devel mono-mcs nasm neko nickle nodejs ocaml octave open-cobol \
  openjdk-6-jdk pari-gp parrot perl php5-cli pike7.8 python r-base \
  regina-rexx ruby2.0 scala swi-prolog tcl ucblogo valac

Then, you have to build the bundled interpreters.

$ cd vendor
$ make

If you are using Arch Linux, you might want to ask @xyproto to update the quine-relay-git package :-)

You may find instructions for other platforms in the wiki.

If you are not using these Linux distributions, please find your way yourself. If you could do it, please let me know. Good luck.

2. Run each program on each interpreter/compiler.

$ ruby QR.rb > QR.scala
$ scalac QR.scala && CLASSPATH=. scala QR > QR.scm
$ gosh QR.scm > QR.bash
$ bash QR.bash > QR.st
$ gst QR.st > QR.tcl
$ tclsh QR.tcl > QR.unl
$ ruby vendor/unlambda.rb QR.unl > QR.vala
$ valac QR.vala && ./QR > QR.v
$ iverilog -o QR QR.v && ./QR -vcd-none > QR.ws
$ ruby vendor/whitespace.rb QR.ws > qr.adb
$ gnatmake qr.adb && ./qr > QR.a68
$ a68g QR.a68 > QR.awk
$ awk -f QR.awk > QR.boo
$ booi QR.boo > QR.bf
$ bf QR.bf > QR.c
$ gcc -o QR QR.c && ./QR > QR.cpp
$ g++ -o QR QR.cpp && ./QR > QR.cs
$ mcs QR.cs && mono QR.exe > QR.clj
$ clojure QR.clj > QR.cob
$ cobc -O2 -x QR.cob && ./QR > QR.coffee
$ coffee QR.coffee > QR.lisp
$ clisp QR.lisp > QR.fs
$ gforth QR.fs > QR.f
$ f2c QR.f && gcc -o QR QR.c -L/usr/lib -lf2c && ./QR > QR.f90
$ gfortran -o QR QR.f90 && ./QR > QR.go
$ go run QR.go > QR.groovy
$ groovy QR.groovy > QR.hs
$ ghc QR.hs && ./QR > QR.icn
$ icont -s QR.icn && ./QR > QR.i
$ ick -bfO QR.i && ./QR > QR.j
$ jasmin QR.j && CLASSPATH=. java QR > QR.java
$ javac QR.java && CLASSPATH=. java QR > QR.ll
$ llvm-as QR.ll && lli QR.bc > QR.logo
$ logo QR.logo > QR.lol
$ vendor/lci-*/lci QR.lol > QR.lua
$ lua QR.lua > QR.makefile
$ make -f QR.makefile > QR.mac
$ maxima -q --init-mac=QR.mac > QR.il
$ ilasm QR.il && mono QR.exe > QR.asm
$ nasm -felf QR.asm && ld -m elf_i386 -o QR QR.o && ./QR > QR.neko
$ nekoc QR.neko && neko QR.n > QR.5c
$ nickle QR.5c > QR.js
$ nodejs QR.js > QR.m
$ gcc -o QR QR.m && ./QR > QR.ml
$ ocaml QR.ml > QR.octave
$ octave -qf QR.octave > QR.ook
$ ruby vendor/ook.rb QR.ook > QR.gp
$ gp -f -q QR.gp > QR.pasm
$ parrot QR.pasm > QR.pas
$ fpc QR.pas && ./QR > QR.pl
$ perl QR.pl > QR.php
$ php QR.php > QR.png
$ vendor/npiet-*/npiet QR.png > QR.pike
$ pike QR.pike > QR.ps
$ gs -dNODISPLAY -q QR.ps > QR.prolog
$ swipl -q -t qr -f QR.prolog > QR.py
$ python QR.py > QR.R
$ R --slave < QR.R > QR.rexx
$ rexx ./QR.rexx > QR2.rb

You will see that QR.rb is the same as QR2.rb.

$ diff QR.rb QR2.rb

Alternatively, just type make.

$ make

Note: It may require huge memory to compile some files.

Tested interpreter/compiler versions

As I said above, I tested the program on Ubuntu. It does not provide Unlambda and Whitespace interpreters, so this repository includes my own implementations. For other languages, I used the following deb packages:

How to re-generate the source

$ sudo apt-get install rake ruby-cairo ruby-rsvg2 ruby-gdk-pixbuf2 \
  optipng advancecomp
$ cd src
$ rake2.0 clobber
$ rake2.0
