In that case: yes, we have a lot of JS people coming to Rust. The difference helps explain that too: if you’re going to learn something, learning something that’s very different from what you’re used to means you get more out of it than learning something similar.
When I decided I wanted to move away from Ruby, I didn’t even consider getting deeper into Python. Why would I? They’re so similar that the cost/benefit ratio is off, at least for me back then.
YMMV of course.
Oh and finally, not every bit of writing has to be extremely useful or hit a wide audience. Sometimes people write things because they want to.
Good points, but when I have done that, I always preferred to start fresh, rather than take a "shortcut" map from A to B.
The reason is that otherwise you always try to map things back to your previous knowledge and expertise, which can make you biased or give you tunnel vision.
