Classic confinement request for "zig" programming language snap

Zig is a programming language. The zig snap contains the Zig toolchain. It is classic confinement because it needs access to the filesystem.

Thanks,
Jay

@evan, @Wimpress, @popey - can one of you perform the vetting? AIUI, toolchains like this are typically classic (if they aren’t please enlighten me).

@Jayschwa I don’t see you in the upstream contributors for Zig. Are you involved with upstream Zig? Will you be working on the Zig snap as an upstream effort?

I have only made a small documentation change on upstream so far, though I’m interested in contributing more to the language. Andy, the Zig author, is fine with a snap being published, but wants someone else to maintain it.

Given the demonstrated engagement in the upstream project, the public track record, and the precedence of similar cases, +1 from me.

Thanks all. Do I need to take any further action, or should I try uploading a snap again?

Granting use of classic. This is now live.
