A developer who used an LLM to build a rogue-like game in Common Lisp found that the model generated a macro to define armory items, reducing boilerplate code. The macro, named define-armory-equippabl…
A developer used 'vibe coding' to create a rogue-like game in Common Lisp, leveraging an LLM to write most of the code while making targeted adjustments. The game features a real-time, turn-based hybr…
A developer who advocates functional programming has found that large language models (LLMs) reason about functional code more easily than imperative code, and has developed a multi-step refactoring p…
A developer tested Gemini 3.1 Pro and Claude Sonnet on generating Common Lisp code for prime numbers up to 100, following a commenter's report that Qwen 3.8:27b failed multiple attempts. Gemini 3.1 Pr…
A developer who used AI to build a web service discovered that the LLM-generated code included sophisticated CSRF protection, complete with macros and detailed comments. The AI refactored the middlewa…
A developer describes a workflow they call 'East Coast Vibing,' which uses two LLMs to build applications. The approach involves using Gemini as a 'general contractor' to challenge and refine architec…
A developer released the source code of their website, jrm-code-public, on GitHub with secrets redacted, to demonstrate the kind of Lisp code generated by an LLM. The code is more complex than a stand…
A developer has launched jrm-code-project.com, a website written entirely in Common Lisp and generated through vibe coding, to demonstrate that frontier LLMs can now handle large Lisp programs. The si…
A developer explains why they target Common Lisp for AI code generation, citing its homoiconicity, macro system, and REPL introspection as advantages over mainstream languages. The developer argues th…
A developer incorporated patches from a reader named Madhu that enable llambda.lisp, a Lisp-based inference project, to run on Linux. The patch uses mmap to load model weights into the Lisp address sp…
A developer explains why they target Common Lisp for AI code generation, citing its homoiconicity, macro system, and REPL introspection as advantages over mainstream languages. The developer argues th…
A developer known as jrm published an interview in which their coding agent, Victoria, challenges the practice of 'vibe coding'—using LLMs to generate code from vague prompts. The interview explores w…
A developer created llambda.lisp, a Common Lisp implementation of llama.cpp for running LLM models locally. The project is available on GitHub and seeks contributions for additional architecture suppo…
A developer built a chatbot library in Common Lisp that supports multiple back ends, enabling local LLM prompting. The library features recursive chatbots that can call each other without sharing cont…
