Modern typed python: dive into a mature ecosystem from web dev to machine learning by Sami Jaghouar @ Jina AI

Typing is at the center of modern Python, and tools (mypy, beartype) and libraries (FastAPI, SQLModel, Pydantic, DocArray) based on it are slowly eating the Python world.

The talk will focus on modern python and its extensive usage of type hints and static type analysis. There will be a special focus on DocArray and multimodal AI applications.

The talk will cover different topics around modern Python:

The history of Python and type hint. How Python came from being not static typed language to having statictype analysis?
The state of the modern python ecosystem in 2023:
Powerful development tools like mypy and beartype. Parallel with TypeScript
Powerful libraries that leverage type hint: Pydantic, FastAPI, SQLModel, Typer, DocArray
Deep dive on DocArray and the future of AIbased web app:
Why modern python is a key to speeding up the development of multimodal AI applications (stable diffusion, neural search …)?
What is DocArray and how does it extend pydantic with multimodal AI in mind?

The 5th annual Python Web Conf (#PWC2023) inspired attendees to use technology for good. The conference attracted 315 attendees from over 30 countries across 15 time zones. The highly engaging format featured 70 speakers, 5 tracks (including 64 talks and 5 tutorials) and took place virtually on March 1317, 2023 on LoudSwarm by Six Feet Up.
