I'm in the opposite camp - I love the short object syntax in JS and the way it mirrors destructuring. I'm very happy to see something similar come to Ruby! But, that said, I think that the Ruby version is ugly compared to JS and the extra colons are noisy. I assume there's some reason why the parser can't read `{ x, y }`, as ruby is notoriously hard to add syntax to.
