hash rockets are more beautiful than colon-oscopies

a.rb

    segment = Segment::TwitterFollowers.create(
      name: "Demo Twitter Followers Segment #{ timestamp }",
      account: account,
      client: client,
      definition_data: "@nike\n"
    )


VS


    segment = Segment::TwitterFollowers.create(
      :name            => "Demo Twitter Followers Segment #{ timestamp }",
      :account         => account,
      :client          => client,
      :definition_data => "@nike\n"
    )

Colons aren't sharp and pointy, though, so safer for use by the young. Think of the children!!

I appreciated @samphippen's POV on the foo: syntax in http://giantrobots.fm/145 (minute 34)
