Dynamic arrays broke?

I apologize in advance if I'm doing something wrong or missed some documentation/discussion recently.

I'm having trouble using dynamic arrays in a game engine I'm using (pulse game engine) with amber.

I narrowed the problem down to this example:

#url -> 'foo.html'.

#success -> [:data | console log: data]

<{url: 'foo.html', success: function(data){console.log(data)}}>.

inspecting the top object does not seem to give the proper result, i.e. the keys do not include #url and #success. the bottom object seems to work fine.

Oops, I meant dynamic dictionaries. Getting the code from this page:

In reply to this post by Jacob Wagner

This is because the #{...} literal syntax creates HashedCollection
objects, which only support strings as keys.

The following works fine:

#{
'url' -> 'foo.html'.
'success' -> [:data | console log: data]
}.

Cheers!
