write a codegolf quine in any language

ChatGPT
A quine is a computer program that takes no input and produces a copy
of its own source code as its only output. Writing a quine in a
code-golf style means trying to create one with the fewest characters
possible. Below is a classic example of a quine in Python that is
quite short:

```python
_='_=%r;print(_%%_)';print(_%_)
```

Explanation:
- `_='_=%r;print(_%%_)'`: Assign a string to `_`. The `%r` will be
replaced by the string representation of what follows `%` later.
- `;print(_%%_)`: Print the string, replacing `%_` with `_` itself,
effectively regenerating the source code.

The challenge of code golf is to create the shortest possible code, so
alternative solutions in Python or any other language might be even
shorter! Feel free to modify and optimize the code for different
languages and contexts.
