Cool, but there is something I don't get at the moment:

For me, a snap is a program executable bundled with all its dependencies 
in a big package.

When you run it, snap creates a sort of file sandbox so that the program 
see its libraries without having to installing anything system-wide.

It's ok for a classic program that open a file, modify it, and save it.

But the Gambas IDE run the project it's edit by calling external 
programs : the compiler, the interpreter, and so on.

In which environment is a project run by the Gambas IDE snap executed?
