Point of order: Ruby’s hashes do preserve insertion order. Python dicts are now the same.

Good for Ruby! Nice to hear.

I'm pretty sure they didn't in Ruby ~1.8 though. It's been awhile :-) Can't remember exactly which version, but it bit me more than once so I'm pretty sure :)

Yup, I think Ruby 1.9 or so made hashes ordered.
