I have checked it briefly but I'm not going to package it.  There's one package
in an external channel[1], you can try it there for now.  Note its definition is
currently written in a way that cannot be accepted into Guix.

Examples for Zig packages are available in (gnu packages zig-xyz) module[2], I
think zig-build-system can support Ghostty well, but the package itself is a bit
complex, so I would advise against packaging it if you don't have much
experience.

Thanks
