+
+Python supports type annotations on functions (PEP 484). Static type checkers,
+such as mypy, are used to verify adherence to these types.
+For example:
+```py
+def f(v: int) -> int:
+  return v[0]
+```
+Running mypy on the above code will give the error:
+`Value of type "int" is not indexable`.
+
+We've recently made changes to Beam in 2 areas:
+
+Adding type hints throughout Beam. TODO expand
+
+Second, we've added support for Python 3 type annotations. This allows SDK
+users to specify a DoFn's type hints in one place. 
+We've also expanded Beam's support of `typing` module types.
+
+For more background see: 
+[Ensuring Python Type Safety](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/sdks/python-type-safety/).

 Review comment:
   @chadrik LMK if you want to write about the new type hints, mypy checking, other stuff you've added related to types.
