Ultimate programming challenge

[Ragehottie]

The ultimate challenge.  Can you make a program to print the source code of said program? It has to be language portable... work on any language. So you can't read the file and print its contents.

lolwhat? Is the program meant to decompile files and grab their source or hook into the IDE to retrieve the source? If you can't read the file then how do you accomplish this task? Explain your challenge in a better manner

This is called a quine. To add to the challenge, make it a one-liner.

Lol, my bad. I didn't realize it was a mobile link. +1 for fixing it.

His challenge looks and sounds exactly like a quine, I don't now what else he could be referring to.
