#2we should forbid click bait titles on HN, it's an insult to the audience's intelligence
Clickbait title are so common we think they're normal titles.... Here's how he did it: you create a craving for an answer then you offer a solution for that craving. "here’s how it was" ==> that's the trick Also "here’s how" should never be used in a title, we all know that the title's subject IS what you're going to talk about. a pre-click bait era title would have sounded like: Learnings after using Haskell for 5 years

Do you think this title is clickbait? I just read the thing it seems like a good title.

While this title follows a particular style it actually tells you what the article will be about (5 years of Haskell). What bothers you about it?

We should, and we do.
This title is on point: The author used Haskell for several years, and found there was a learning curve, some helpful libraries, some poorly documented libraries, lots of historical baggage, unclear performance consequences, and uncommon correlations (good and bad) between task and difficulty.

The title is not only accurate but it is stylistically appropriate in this case as the author is making an explicit criticism of the type of post where an author tries something for a few days and blogs about it.

#8If anyone's curious to try out functional programming, I would highly recommend Elm. I haven't been so excited about a language since I went from C to Ruby ten years ago, and Pragmatic Studios has a great course on it (I have no affiliation): https://pragmaticstudio.com/courses/elm

Do you care enough to share why is it disappointing for you?

I would also give a recommendation to elm. It is like a simpler version of Haskell and its relatively easy to build something quickly(no affiliation either).
I always had a hard time wrapping my head around functional programming, but elm was easy to understand and shows off the strengths of a functional approach.
