Why are gems with the same spelling but different capitalization allowed on rubygems.org

dafuq? case-sensitivity here but not there causes problems with filesystem/downloads/uniqueness/research…

@andrewnez ah right. and sluggifying the string to symbol wouldn't work because it's not not roundtrippable, right?

"Shane Becker" #=> :shane_becker
"HTTP.rb" #=> :http_rb

@andrewnez say more about that pls?

@andrewnez in this wacky hypothetical… that'd not be a valid legal symbol

only symbol safe names could be symbol keys

(like a hashtag)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here’s a wacky #Ruby idea…

What if only symbols for hash keys?

How much code would that break?
How much of that is actually non-symbol-able?

I.e.

{ “Shane Becker” => “veganstraightedge” }
