Definitely. Everything about blink(1) is open source, from the GUI applications to control it to the low-level libraries to the firmware and even the 3D models of the enclosure and CAD models for the circuit board. You can find everything on the blink1 github.
In general, the blink(1) low-level APIs are compiled with GCC and Makefiles.
