People writing in JS are usually techies who could/would migrate. People writing in Python are on a wide spectrum that goes from "one-step-above-matlab" to "know-it-all-c-wizard". You won't actually get all these people to move on any reasonable timeframe.
HN is biased because we tend to love tech and a lot of us know several languages, but Python is much more democratized. My friends in physics, biotech, mechanical engineering, basically everyone in STEM is using Python and to them it's a tool that took a lot of time to learn and they won't drop it all because dependencies are hard.
