I don't think I'll ever fully understand the Python --> Go transition, I sometimes have to shrug and attribute it to the power of big company backing. I think the drain has mostly been from Python web and networking programmers, probably a bunch of devops scripters too, but with web pretty much everything else that offers easy to use and high performance web servers out of the box is a cause for drain too, so I think the transition to Go directly is probably less severe than what one might think from HN submissions. Python is much more anyway and will remain a strong choice for many areas for years to come. For your point 2 I agree completely, for the few reasons that I can kind of understand why one would do Python --> Go, Python --> Nim (among several other viable options) ought to weigh in as a better choice based on the same reasoning, and Nim offers other extra reasoning criteria to sweeten the deal. I'm not sure how to target Go users other than to consistently show their favorite domains are done better with another language.
