Ah, Nobu found it and was faster. :) So it was indeed a duplicate. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15236: add support for hash shorthand https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15236#change-74517 * Author: ignatiusreza (Ignatius Reza Lesmana) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- PR in github: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/1990 inspired by javascript support for object literal shorthand notation `{ a }`, which will be expanded into `{ a: a }`.. to avoid ambiguity, this shorthand is only supported when hash is defined with `{ }` notation.. in other situation where the brackets is optional, e.g. function call, we still need to write it in full (`m(a : a)` instead of `m(a)`, or `m(a, b, c: c)` instead of `m(a, b, c)`.. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
