Nix shell related questions (for rust)
If you want to iterate with nix instead of cargo, crate2nix and cargo2nix provides more caching and more fine control over your dependencies. I haven't used these two so you would have to decide for yourself. You may also want to try out nocargo for something more experimental.

Introducing Crane: Composable and Cacheable Builds with Cargo and Nix
I'm yet to try it out, but from the blog post, the README and the source it appears that Crane builds all dependencies in one derivation (separately from the main crate). This means that if a dependency gets added, removed or changed, all dependencies of a crate will be rebuilt. This is in contrast with https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix, which does build every dependency in a separate package, thus you don't need to rebuild other dependencies if you only change a small part of the tree.

Nixery – Docker images on the fly with Nix
Yes, you will have to package it if it's not already in nixpkgs.
The good news is once you learn how, it's basically trivial with crate2nix[0], which can autogenerate nix derivations from rust crates

How do you install packages not in Nixpkgs?
As for your two applications, they're both written in Rust, and I like https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix as a way to package Rust crates with Nix. BTW, wezterm is already in nixpkgs!

Nix-ifying a Rust project
I like the way crate2nix works. I have made a flake template for it here. Sometimes it requires a couple of overrides to fix some misbehaving crates (see https://github.com/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/blob/master/flake.nix#L29 for an example of such overrides), but otherwise it's fantastic. It doesn't require any hash nonsense, it downloads and builds all the crates separately (unlike naersk or other solutions) so you get all the benefits of Nix (reproducibility and proper caching).
