Henry Habibe

Frederick Hendrik (Henry) Habibe (Aruba, May 6, 1940) is an Aruban poet, literary critic and literary man.

He published his poetry mainly in the period following the creation of his magazine Watapana (1968–1972). He writes most of his poems in the Papiamento language, occasionally in Spanish and Dutch.

In 1985 he received his PhD at the University of Leiden on the study El compromiso en la poesía afro-antillana de Cuba y Puerto Rico, that treated Nicolás Guillén and other poets as its main subject. He also published studies on the work of Pierre Lauffer, JS Corsen and Luis Daal. He wrote reviews for the Antillian newspapers: Amigoe di Curacao and Beurs- en Nieuwsberichten (1986–1997). Henry Habib is a member of the advisory board of the Werkgroep Caraïbische Letteren (Caribbean Study group of Arts) of the Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde (Society of Dutch Literature) in Leiden.

gollark: ... an x86 assembly typing test link?

gollark: > sqlite is not less complex than this formatYes. *But*, you don't actually have to interact with the SQLite disk format directly because libsqlite3 exists.

gollark: I suspect SQLite would lose out somewhat in storage efficiency, but it could plausibly be faster for many things at runtime.

gollark: It's less complex for everyone interacting with it, since they can just... use SQLite, which has bindings for everything, instead of "zimlib". And by "efficiency" do you mean "space efficiency" or "lookup efficiency"? Because, as I said, SQLite would probably only add a few bytes per directory entry row, which is not a significant increase.
