From: Dominic Son Date: 2006-09-20T04:12:11+09:00 Subject: => A newb question why did matz choose to use '=>' to declare things instead of just making them all '=' ? he cut our time marginally by letting us not put a ';' at the end of a line, but now we have to put a '>' with '='... (i'm gonna guess a = operator is for assigning a value, whereas a => is for assigning symbols? ) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
