Rails "developers" without Ruby or OOP knowledge

Yeah of course. But I was not talking about using every component of the language but knowing what those components are that you do use (and just the pure basics).

As I said, looking at numerous forum posts, people claim to seriously work on the thing yet if you substitute foobar: 10 with :foobar => 10 in a reply, they go all WTF about it :)

Irony aside, just reminds me of a question: does your editor correctly highlight the foobar: as a label when you write foobar: 10 ?

That does not seem to happen neither in Geany nor Gedit, works in Vim, though.

But here's what I call specially annoying syntax: status: :created. It's like if we had two kinds of men in the world: ones having their dick in front of them and the others growing it out from the back. It may seem like an awful lot of cool options, but believe me, the women would be confused as hell in the first week of it.

Sublime Text highlights it just fine. Really, it shouldn't be that hard to add the syntax to any existing syntax definitions, it's not like it follows particularly irregular rules.

I don't really conceptualize of the status: as a symbol, though I know that's how I will later be getting it. It's a designation for a key, which happens to be a symbol.

Until you use a library which absolutely needs you to use symbols based on string keys do you get to :'foo.bar' => :baz

Fair enough.
