One annoying thing I ran into when trying zig is they don't distribute debs any more for Debian distributions. They just tell you to use a snap. I don't have snap, and don't want it.

Compiling it requires the latest llvm toolchian (16), which is only realistically going to be available as a package if you're on a bleeding edge distribution.

What's wrong with downloading the binary? curl + mv + chown should do it?
