Development environments with Nix

You have to define pkgs somehow. You can not just leave away the let/in.

let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
in
  pkgs.mkShell {
    packages = [
      pkgs.rakudo
      pkgs.zef
      pkgs.rlwrap
      pkgs.gnuplot
    ];
  }

This built succesfully for me.

rakudo doesn’t seem to have a withPackages, and also all the attributes are toplevel anyway and not some rakudo packages.
