+This is also possible with [Nix flakes](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.html).
+Instead of creating `shell.nix`, you just need to add the derivation (`mkShell`)
+to your `devShells` in `flake.nix`. Run `nix develop` to enter the shell and
+`nix develop -c cargo run` to run the program. See
+[Nix's documentation](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-develop.html)
+for more information about `devShells`.

+For example, to use stable Rust from nixpkgs, you can add `cargo` and `rustc` to `nativeBuildInputs`.
