I've just stumbled upon this piece of art, an Uroboros quine (a quine is a program which prints its own source code on screen):
So you might wonder: what the heck is this? This is a Ruby program which generates a Scala program which then generates a Rust program... and after 127 different programming languages outputs the above Ruby program again. Very fascinating.
It's on Github, of course: https://github.com/mame/quine-relay
And comes with instructions which programming languages you need to install, and which commands to run in which order to run that beast.
So if you're sometimes feeling bored, you could give it a try and see how far you will come from the beginning to the end.
