Genuary 11: Quine

A quine is a computer program that takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output

code = [[function draw()
    font("Menlo-Bold")
    fontSize(20)
    textStyle(TEXT_NATIVE)
    textAlign(LEFT)
    background(0)
    text(
      'code = ' 
      .. string.gsub('<<', '<', '[') 
      .. code 
      .. string.gsub('>>', '>', ']') 
      .. '\nload(code)()', 
      WIDTH - 200, HEIGHT - 600
    )
end]]
load(code)()
