In the short run, yes. In the long run, this just makes a bunch of coders that are now afraid of type declarations, because they were scared away from it with the "what if you have to choose?" tagline, thus making turning back to the proper way of doing things harder.

Can you talk more about this? I've never heard that tagline and can't figure out what it's supposed to mean.

Just from context, I'm guessing it means that you might type things one way and then need to use them another way later, and dynamically typed languages are sold as not having that problem.
