From: "Sebestyén Gábor" Date: 2005-03-17T05:37:12+09:00 Subject: Symbol vs String Hi, Just a dumb question: what is the real difference between { :aKey => "aValue" } and { "aKey" => "aValue" } ? I know the first key is a symbol the latter is a string. I like string keys why should I use symbols? Why symbols worth to use as keys? Thanks, G�bor
