Base64 Text is a programming language created by Mihai Popa. It's like Text, but it's in Base64.
A short description
All Base64 Text programs output their source code, thus ALL programs are quines.
There are a HUGE AMOUNT of interpreters for Base64 Text, like Notepad, WordPad, "type" command on Windows, "cat" command on Linux, etc...
The file extensions for Base64 Text programs are .b64 and .txt, and some other extensions and even no extension at all!
