Challenge: a self-healing version of this where the program missing a character outputs the original program (with the character re-inserted).

That's what this program is doing - the mutated code with one character missing will output the original program.

You're right! I misread the diff command after mutation. Amazing!

I think it would be more impressive if it produced itself (with character removed) after a character is removed
