Ruby hash equivalent of JavaScript's object initializer ES6 shorthand

Question

In JavaScript ES6 we can create objects where variable names become keys like this:

> let a = \'aaa\'
\'aaa\'

> let b = \'bbb\'
\'bbb\'

> { a, b }         


        

Answer 1

It has been proposed in Ruby #15236 - Add support for hash shorthand and has unfortunately been rejected for the moment.
