Description
Raised as a possibility in #21 . Currently, building purs on Nix is unlikely to work, as stack setup reports:
I don't know how to install GHC on your system configuration, please install manually
I honestly have no idea how good of an idea this is; if we can't do this reliably then I think it could easily cause more pain than it would solve. Perhaps we should just not support Nix at all; Nix users do have other options for installing the compiler.

Research direction
The issue names the stack setup invocation but no source file or test. First clarify whether Nix/NixOS support is intended and how reliably it must work, then locate where stack setup is run. Done means the chosen behavior is documented and verified for the supported Nix case, or that Nix is explicitly unsupported.
