A query inside the nix expression language can be fed directly to `nix-shell` as a one-liner.. When I want to prototype a toy example, I typically retrieve these one-liners from my shell history
I use the following one-liner to setup my environment for a small backend http server
It turns out that for purposes of my current project, this is the easiest to way to setup my Haskell development environment:
$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [fgl generic-random QuickCheck brick fgl-arbitrary hspec diagrams palette z3 mysql-simple logict hslogger wai warp aeson wai-websockets wai-extra wai-cors diff-gestalt blaze-html])"
