I think the folks that start off with dynamically typed languages will likely naturally come upon on the need for a type system as they try to more carefully design their production systems. This has been my experience.

I think the dynamic languages are simply a better introduction to programming because they subtract a layer of complexity and allow you to focus on the basics.
