Hey, I see a handful of different "zig" images on DockerHub, including some that can build zig itself. But I don't see an official image that has the zig compiler installed and ready for use. Can we release official images for this?
That way, developers and CI maintainers can rely on a more stable, community tested development environment for easily building Zig programs. As opposed to having to install Zig from scratch each time.

No need for docker, all the linux tarballs we provide are statically compiled. They work inside a FROM scratch image.

Yes, at a philosphical level there is no need for a Docker image. Rather, as a practical matter is is very helpful to have a container handy, for newbies and CI managers so they don't have to work with tarballs themselves.
Example:
