From: Jeremy Kemper Date: 2009-04-18T06:18:08+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:23243] [Bug #1389] Use of ":" as synonym for "do" and "then" Issue #1389 has been updated by Jeremy Kemper. It was an "accidental" feature in the first place. It's been removed to simplify the new hash literal syntax. {a: "foo"} # => {:a=>"foo"} ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1389 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
