[ key: value ] is as easy to understand as [ “key” => value ], and likely very familiar to people who have dealt with JavaScript or JSON. The :> operator does not look too far off from -> or =>, too, though again, I’m willing to use a better alternative if one exists. It also happens to be the C99 digraph for ], take that as you will. :) -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
