    Unrelated: what is "habibi"? To me (and I know nothing), it always sounded like a pejorative term for franco-arabs but I never bothered to validate

      It means “my love” in Arabic but you can also use it with friends

        So in this case it would roughly be "my lovely code"? Or "Code, my loves"?

          It doesn't mean too much beside a funny name, and my love for the Arabic language

        Habibi is a gendered term. 'Habibi' is used towards men (regardless of the gender of the speaker). 'Habibti' is used towards women (regardless of the gender of the speaker). 'Habaybi' when addressing groups. Expect giggles when you confuse the first two.
