Given that the hashrocket came from Perl to Ruby primarily, and that it changed to look more like Python, I'd say you're wrong :)

  Well, the pun was not about the => operator, but about Ruby becoming "less parseable". As they say: "Only perl can parse Perl" ;-) So => is the "hashrocket" operator? I can't find any reference to this name besides this: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/152544 http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/152544

    I suppose. It goes well with the spaceship operator <=>.

      Now we need to find a meaning for |=| so it can be the Tie Fighter operator.
