I've commented on this before: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/glpgelcitafzjayjegpu@forum.dlang.org

In short: unless anything has changed since the last time I 
looked, snap packages are better suited for compiler use-cases.

There are apparently some compiler flatpaks out there (e.g. one 
for swift: 
http://swift-linux.refi64.com/en/latest/install.html#flatpak), 
but that appears to be tied to a desktop use-case.  And, frankly, 
look how much extra manual work you have to do to get that 
working, compared to just

      sudo snap install ...

... and run the newly installed compiler.
