Do you know of any additional information on using Julia with Nix, such as documentation or a collection of Nix expressions? I've tried using the Nix Julia package (and I even made the pull request that upgraded nixpkgs to julia 0.3.5), but then I will e.g. try to use PyCall, and it will not have a Python interpreter available. I'm interested enough in using Nix with Julia that I'd be willing to help document these things if you or anyone else has any guiding light on how to better move forward.
