Title of the talk

Making Python much faster, using type hints

Description

Python 3.0 had silently added a little feature to the language that, at the time, had no actual use case: you could now add "annotations" to your functions.

Fast forward 15 years, there is now a thriving community of developers and projects that have adopted the feature to add "type hints" to your code, and find bugs with highly sophisticated type checking tools.

Today, Python's type system is powerful enough that optimizations can automatically be done to the code based on these hints. We will learn how to do exactly that, with a tool called mypyc.

@tusharsadhwani Would you be willing to do this session on Nov 25th meetup?

We'll most probably keep it in morning and most likely to happen in HSR if it helps.
