There used to be a nifty "new github repositories" rss/atom feed at

curl -4 --head http://planet.lisp.org/github.atom

which would flag new lisp public repositories created on github whenever
they went public. It is no longer updated since

I believe this was set up by Zach Beane who runs the domain.
Such a feed seems to have been unique to common lisp, are there any any
other languages with such feeds. It doesn't seem to be a github service
of this sort.

Any ideas how Zach may have implemented it? did it stop working because
github turned off some feature that it used?

I'm guessing it was likely just a search like
`language:"Common Lisp" OR language:Scheme` (etc. etc.)?

Seems like there's some software out there to make RSS feeds out of
general github searches, and it seems pretty trivial since one just
makes a search with the API and transforms it into an Atom/RSS feed.

Doesn't seem like that part of the API (nor the basic parts like authentication) has seen breaking changes in years though? Maybe the
cron job to generate the Planet Lisp one just accidentally stopped
firing or something.

Thanks, with a user account, it seems the api can be used with a

created:>YYYY-MM-DD field to find new repositories.

curl -4 \
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64 (x86_64))" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GH_TOKEN" \ 'https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=+language:common%20lisp+created:>2025-11-20&per_page=10&page=1'

For the record, Zach Beane fixed this around the middle of December, and dropped me a note about it. The feed has been available at the URL
since then, and code is hosted at https://github.com/xach/ghprojects

I've read a few articles (not all, at least until I stopped reading) by
Joe Marshall on his blog on this topic his obligatory use of AI/LLM
code-gen for his work and his lamentations at how inadequate they were
with common lisp.

But recently the above feed indicates a proliferation of LLM/codegen
recent projects on github, maybe something chaneged recently. The most
notable efforts are by Anthony Green

a purelisp CL to EBNF compiler

https://github.com/atgreen/Whistler

(a pure lisp replacement for cl-ssl, apprently now with rcent
contributions from jcma)
https://github.com/atgreen/pure-tls

These seem to indicate that cl llm tech is at the point of groking specs
and spitting out code.

OK The other 100s projects (ok 341 + 41) I noticed under https://github.com/parkianco https://github.com/Kyvero-Vexus all seem to
have been retracted. The one thing all these AI assite projects have in
common is that they all advertise "Pure CL" and "no dependencies" (well
except except SBCL), e.g. the blurb for this one

https://github.com/ckluis/cauldron

"A full-stack Common Lisp framework that implements everything from
scratch rCo HTTP server, PostgreSQL driver, cryptography, LiveView,
admin interface rCo in pure SBCL with zero external dependencies. One
binary. No build tools. No supply chain."

all of which seme to indicate the llms know something about removing dependencies... has there been any staggering statement about the state
of LLM in CL opensource, is something announcement lined up for the lisp conferences

Or maybe about reinventing the wheel? EfOe
