Adding FastHTML to Workers Python runtime

[ndilsou]

Jeremy Howard of FastAI launched FastHTML recently to allow component based UIs to be developed all in Python. The library is built on top of techs like Starlette (same primitive backing FastAPI), HTMX and has built in support for SQLite.

Some of the reason why it would be a good bet for CF:

• The ease of using sqlite alone has value by giving a path to using D1 in python.
• It gives you a great on ramp to build tons of example of use of for WorkersAI.
• They're already showing how to deploy on Railway and Vercel in some examples, so there is still time to gain mindspace in the community of users the FastHTML team is building.

Overall that seems like a pretty valuable addition to the CF Workers python ecosystem.
