Ruby 1.9: sexy hashes
I am falling in love with Ruby 1.9 something fierce! There’s a new literal Hash syntax and I am completely smitten!
Here’s a good old Ruby 1.8 hash:
lame_hash = { 
ne => 1, :two => 2, :three => 3 }
And now the new and improved version:
sexy_hash = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3 }
Damn, beautiful!
Also, hashes are now ordered, just as arrays. Holy cow!
Reminds me of JSON, thats the only reason im not sure i like the new alternative syntax, it is smaller though
ordered == awesome tho!
