Shortest quine in Kotlin?

What's the shortest quine written in Kotlin language?

See my implementation in answers, but I believe a shorter one exists.

Solution

  • Here is a straightforward implementation in kotlin script:

    val a="val a=%c%s%c%nprint(a.format(34,a,34))"
print(a.format(34,a,34))

    Tested with:

    $ kotlinc -script quine.kts > out.kts
$ diff -s quine.kts out.kts
Files quine.kts and out.kts are identical

    Number of chars:

    $ stat quine.kts
Size: 71
