Another reason to dislike the Ruby 1.9 Hash syntax by jgn on Saturday, July 9, 2011 in Technology and Ruby

I'm not religious about the old or new Ruby Hash syntax, but it is interesting that if you inspect a Hash in 1.9, you get the old syntax:

[code language='ruby'] ruby-1.9.2-p180 :001 > { foo: 'bar' } => {:foo=>"bar"}

If the new syntax is so ding-dang good, then I think inspect should use it, when it can.
