Canonical has outlined plans to expand Ubuntu's Snap-based devpacks beyond the current Java/Spring, .NET, and Go offerings.

The goal is a 'golden path' one-command setup for every major language and framework on Ubuntu, though the Snap-only delivery will remain a point of contention for some users.
