Ok, so I was comparing some stuff in my own DSL to Ruby. One construct they both support is this
x=["key" => "value"]
Knowing the difference between arrays and hashes, I would think this to be illegal, but the result in Ruby is
[{"key" => "value"}]
Why is this? And with this kinda syntax why can't you do
x=("key" => "value")
Why is an array a special case for implicitly created hashes?
