From: matz@... Date: 2018-10-20T02:23:22+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:89488] [Ruby trunk Feature#15236] add support for hash shorthand Issue #15236 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). As a conservative old timer who does not use JavaScript at all, I still feel negative. It seems to work best with destructuring (left-hand side of assignments) which is nearly impossible in current Ruby syntax. But at the same time, I admit many of Ruby users use Rails and JavaScript, so I am open to hearing your opinion. Matz. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15236: add support for hash shorthand https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15236#change-74529 * 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:
