Is there a difference between these two ways of defining root in my Rails project's routes file?
root :to => 'Something#index'
root to: 'Something#index'
The second way seems like a more straight-forward way.

The second method only works when the Hash key (:to in this case) is a symbol. – cyroxis Sep 11 '14 at 01:02

@cyroxis: Not just any symbol, a limited set of symbols. – mu is too short Sep 11 '14 at 01:03
