  Great, every language needs a Quine. Here's one we created in Elixir: http://elixirgolf.com/articles/elixir-quine-self-replicating...

  Enjoyed the article. It made me pine for the days when I had time to dedicate a day to just play with code.

  I may be missing something, but isn't a quine trivial when you use a language that allows for file I/O (which I believe Fortran does have)? Or is the point of the "challenge" to avoid using file I/O?

  I suppose string handling isn't Fortran's strong point!
