I really enjoy seeing devs do what this author has done, being open to re-reevaluating previously held opinions. It gives me some measure of hope that others are still capable of giving a language, project, genre, etc a fair chance after an unfavorable first impression. Maybe the second attempt does not change the initial determination for a given user, but the mere openness to give it a shot is what I’m looking for as general practice. I don’t mean to impose some duty on people to just at random intervals re-evaluate something, but as in the article, if something prompts the possibility for a second chance I would want the default position of devs to be to go for it.
