TL;DR: Lexa, she/they, french CS student, nerd
Hello :) my name is Clarisse, but people commonly call me Lexa (you might also see an alternative spelling, Lexhā). You can use she
or they
pronouns to refer to me, though I don't mind any other ones.
I am a student in computer science speaking French and English, currently learning Korean.
In alphabetical order, the languages I know at least a little bit, and write code in.
- C
- OCaml
- Python
- Rust
- TypeScript
Special mention: languages which I sometimes write in, but rarely/never make full programs.
- C++
- Haskell
- Uiua
Strict typing enthousiast, btw :)
My interests are directed towards analysis and language design & implementation. I am also a terminal (and its emulation) enthousiast, more specifically enjoying writing pretty CLIs for programs, jumping between ANSI sequences.
I crave learning in depth about category theory ; while not knowing much about it yet, I love experimenting with abstractions, sometimes reinventing the wheel... but that's the best way for me, as well as by teaching to myself, to gain knowledge.
Outside of computer science and mathematics, I am a curious cat excited by many other areas. Most notable ones include: linguistics, music and graphic design.
The stuff I made that might interest you.
- rosalie, a soothing light theme for Visual Studio Code and Neovim.
- kalmia, a soft dark theme for Visual Studio Code: pretty muted colors and a dimmed rose background. A high contrast variant is also available.
- anstrip, a minimal Python package to strip (conditionally or not) ANSI escape sequences.
- coquille, a rather low-level Python package that provides a friendlier interface to escape sequences to avoid hardcoding them in your string literals.
Hopefully more to come!
Note
You might have noticed other projects in my repositories tab. If I don't list them here, I probably consider them either not useful, or not really usable.
It is pronounced "kegzat", including the ending "t".
Lexa is my nickname. It is merging my names, and is usually easier for people to pronounce. Regarding the alternative spelling (and pronounciation), it has to do with a conlang I am currently making!
The language that I will make in a few years 😄

Not just k-pop, but yes! A non-exhaustive list of my favorite groups: Dreamcatcher, Purple Kiss, Pixy, æspa, ATEEZ, Stray Kids.
