From: jonathan@... Date: 2020-02-12T01:14:51+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:97129] [Ruby master Feature#15236] add support for hash shorthand Issue #15236 has been updated by joallard (Jonathan Allard). I support this proposal in its simplest form. I do not think changing method argument syntax is a good idea. @osyo above makes a good point, if your variables are well named: ``` User.new(id: id, age: age, name: name, registered_at: registered_at) ``` It is rewarding to have a shorter, clear syntax: ``` User.new({id, age, name, registered_at}) ``` I do not see a reason to reject this. I would strongly encourage re-opening. ---------------------------------------- Feature #15236: add support for hash shorthand https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15236#change-84233 * Author: ignatiusreza (Ignatius Reza Lesmana) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- 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:
