nix-shell cabal #13

I'm not too familar with flakes, but any chance we can get cabal (using project dependencies) installed in nix-shell, in the manner of nixpkgs? This would enable local development with full IDE support.

I'm surprised it's not available. I'll look into it.

Actually, it looks like the nixpkgs builder doesn't use cabal directly. So, I guess I could add cabal-install to buildInputs of devShell (this will result in nix-shell having cabal in PATH). However, I don't really like this solution because e.g. I use ghc -threaded Main from within nix-shell to iteratively build and develop lambda-launcher.
