I'd like to run Racket on NixOS with neovim. I was wondering, does anyone have a working nix flake that will provide a shell with the lsp and the compiler?

I didn’t see an obvious way to do this when I looked either. I ended up installing via home-manager and just using raco. I guess you would want something like `pythonPackages`? I also see `racket2nix` but I don’t think every project has an `info.rkt` file right?
