Issue #17472 has been updated by joelb (Joel Blum). > Actually, it does (since ES 6): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol I find it very unlikely any language will make symbols the default hash keys like Ruby did. > String are meant for input/output of text. Symbols are identifier for developers. Why do you need that distinction? ---------------------------------------- Feature #17472: HashWithIndifferentAccess like Hash extension https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17472#change-91137 * Author: naruse (Yui NARUSE) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Target version: 3.1 ---------------------------------------- Rails has [ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/HashWithIndifferentAccess.html), which is widely used in Rails to handle Request, Session, ActionView's form construction, ActiveRecord's DB communication, and so on. It receives String or Symbol and normalize them to fetch the value. But it is implemented with Ruby. If we provide C implementation of that, Rails will gain the performance improvement. summary of previous discussion: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/40182#issuecomment-687607812 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
