First Quine (program that prints itself) in GO

[ashani]

Just as all languages have a documented quine (program that prints
itself), GO should also have his...This is the first quine written in
GO..Hope we will have more quines in GO..The output of the following
code snippet is the code snippet itself !! and in a formatted way..

package main

import (
"fmt"
)

func main() {
prelude := "package main\n\nimport (\n\t\"fmt\"\n)\n\nfunc main() {\n
\tprelude := "
format := "%s%cpackage main%cn%cnimport (%cn%ct%c%cfmt%c%c%cn)%cn
%cnfunc main() {%cn%ctprelude := %c%c%cformat := %c%s%c%c
%cfmt.Printf(format, prelude, 34, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 34, 92, 34, 92,
92, 92, 92, 92, 34, 10, 9, 34, format, 34, 10, 9, 10, 10);%c}%c"
fmt.Printf(format, prelude, 34, 92, 92, 92, 92, 92, 34, 92, 34, 92,
92, 92, 92, 92, 34, 10, 9, 34, format, 34, 10, 9, 10, 10)
}

i hate to burst your bubble, but Russ posted one some
ago here.

reproduced here:

/* Go quine */
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("%s%c%s%c\n", q, 0x60, q, 0x60)
}
var q = `/* Go quine */
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Printf("%s%c%s%c\n", q, 0x60, q, 0x60)
}
var q = `

Russ has a very elegant one !
