Using Go 1.21.0 with Railway
Hey team, I'm probably missing something obvious, but I'm struggling to upgrade my Go app to Go 1.21.0 on Railway. Here's the output I get:

Clearly the problem is with the Go version nixpacks has installed, and that's understandable because I think the latest version of Go available from NixOS is 1.20.6. My question is: when will I be able to use Go 1.21.0 on Railway? Are there any workarounds until then?
