JS developers that don't have experience in lower level languages or some CS concepts. In other words, probably a good portion of the expected audience given it's about JS and possible improvements, and is likely to trickle into the news sources to cater to those people.

Notably, with the advent of things like Unity that compile to WebAssembly, people could be programming frequent communications between WebAssembly and JS, without ever having learned a low-level language involving pointers (which would be the situation in which one would learn about stack frames).
