Description:

Python 3.5 RC introduced type hints in the standard library, since then a lot of projects use Python hints in the code. The large open Python source projects like Zulip use it.

For past one year, at work, I have been using Python type hints in the data pipelines and neural networks. The talk is based on the experience. In this talk, I'll cover the following topics.
