Optional Static Typing for Python
Speaker: Guido van Rossum, Dropbox & Python Software Foundation
Python is a dynamically typed language, and some of its appeal derives from this. Nevertheless, especially for large code bases, it would be nice if a compiler could find type errors before the code is even run. Optional static type checking promises exactly this, and over the past four years we have successfully introduced this feature into Python 3. This talk introduces the type system we've adopted and the syntax used for type annotations, some tips on how to get started with a large existing code base, and our experience using the 'mypy' type checker at Dropbox. The entire system is open source, and has also been adopted by other companies such as Lyft, Quora and Facebook.
About the Speaker:
Guido van Rossum is the creator of Python. Born in the Netherlands, he moved to the US following Python's success. He has worked at various startups and Google, and is currently a Principal Engineer at Dropbox.

Great move, gradual or static typing does in fact reduce debugging time and improves code readability.
Great intro to optional static typing for Python, thx
Didn't know Protocol. Awesome!
Please, if your record speakers with slides, put the focus on slides: at 35:51 Guido shows a slide and talks about it, but it is not shown in the video, which is very annoying. The slide is shown at 36:38 for a fraction of a second.
Protocols look very similar to Interfaces in golang. Very good choice!
This a man i want to meet in person
Thanks for your sir
It's number one now
MyPy is a great!
In response to 1:13:00 : python is not a chainsaw. If you have a bug in your homework.py, running it will not cut off your foot. It will throw an error at runtime, or it might even just work, because you didn't go down that codepath. The fact is that a type system is extra work. The payoff is worth it even for medium sized codebases, but there are plenty of use cases where "safety above all else" is the wrong approach.
I just saw Erlang's Joe Armstrong talk, and I think that way of handling errors may be better than static types hmm...
23:05 laughed at facebook....only legends will understand🔥🤣
Why not python in dutch?
qwerty kesthemwel oh good god, the amount of phlegm one would need just to read 200 line of code in Dutch,......does that answer your question?
Too bad he is leaving...
