Hey! I’m Blumiere

I’m a 12th grader that programs stuff sometimes. :)

You’ll find me on a couple of platforms under the name CountBleck as well.

Programming languages

My favorite programming languages are JavaScript and TypeScript.

I’ve worked (in varying degrees) with a bunch of others, like C++ (ew ew ew), C, and Python.

Though they’re not programming languages, I know HTML and CSS too. (That’s how this website was created!)

Interests

My primary interest is in WebAssembly. It’s that interest that has led me to contribute to AssemblyScript (a TypeScript-like language that compiles to WebAssembly) by helping others use it (and also contributing the occasional PR).

I’m also interested in web dev, if my favorite language didn’t give it away. By the way, this site is built with Astro and Tailwind CSS.

Cryptography is also pretty cool, but I don’t know enough of it. I might want to pursue a good amount of math in college to get the necessary background for it.

I think Monero deserves more attention (from normal people). I myself haven’t had many opportunities to use or work with it…I’m hoping to do more of that in the future. Can’t wait for the FCMP++ hard fork! (It gets rid of ring signatures, prevents Eve-Alice-Eve attacks, and also allows transaction chaining, which is necessary for two-way XMR-BTC atomic swaps.)

Misc

I use Gentoo Linux (with systemd and GNOME) on a really old (mid-2014) Macbook Pro, and it works great!

I still use Gentoo Linux, but my Macbook decided to stop working properly…so for the time being (as of 2025-08-30) I’m booting off of a 32 GB SanDisk Cruzer Glide (USB 2.0) stick (XFS on LUKS2, with µgRD for the initramfs) off of my mom’s crappy Windows laptop when I need a Linux environment.
