Hey,

Is it vital to complete the coding test in Haskell/PHP stack hosted on NixOS? What if I do the same thing on a Ruby (Rails) stack, with a Vagrantfile, would it still be considered?

Oh hi! (Does HN not have a notification or am I just ignorant?)

To quote from the link in the parent:

> You can use any framework or library you are comfortable with. We like Haskell, Nix and PHP so it'll be great if you use them, especially Nix.

All submissions will be considered. If you have a brilliant profile with exemplary code we are happy to forgo the entire test.

That said, most of the time I end up requesting a NixOS module. Other components are up to the you.
