I'm a big static typing fan, but the facts are out there, startups use Rails and Django, and front end is JavaScript, all are dynamically typed, yet very popular.
A good static typed language that the only difference between it and Ruby / Python is the type system, has a good chance in being accepted by a larger audience of developers, both enterprise and startups.
People prefer dynamic as they don't like to compile, and it provides rapid code / refresh cycles, I don't think anyone would say no to less bugs and better refactoring, and to self explanatory APIs using content assist.
