Now you can simply use jac run streamlit_demo.jac as normal. Basically, you can take that sl_start ability and add it to any streamlit jac project.

I'll leave it as a challenge to you on how to have that automatically resolve the file name. sneeze __file__ sneeze

Note that If you are unable to run the pure python one, you have to get over that milestone before thinking about the Jac version.
