    1. Dictionary. A dictionary is a list of associations between a key and an object. Of course a key is an object, but it must respond to equality tests. Most of the time, symbols are used as keys.

      I don't think that -> was introduced before as a shorthand for associationts, tuples, cons pairs. For example: Smalltalk Association key: #red value: Color red can be rewritten as: ```Smalltalk

      red -> Color red

      ```
