That's got to be the most inadvertently HN-clickbait headline I've ever seen.

Having a personal vendetta against 'string'ly typed programming, upon seeing the headline, my head involuntarily perked up like that of a meerkat.

(The OP headline was previously "Strings Are Dead")

Same here, somehow I was picturing a realization (that strings are wrong) so large that even the HuffPost would write about it.

We changed the title to a representative sentence from the article.

HP is an authority in char* though.

Well literally the main thing their site does is publish really long strings.

I'm not sure it's inadvertent.

I long ago filed HuffPo under "clickbait" along with similar entities, like the Daily Mail.

Certainly, but in this case, I don't think HuffPo was targeting software developers...
