Unfortunately their hash table uses Javascript objects. Therefore it does not behave exactly like Ruby.

Eg:

  # Opal
  h = Hash.new
  h['0'] = 1 
  h[0] = 2
  print h
  # {"0"=>2}

  # Ruby
  h = Hash.new
  h['0'] = 1 
  h[0] = 2
  print h
  # {"0"=>1, 0=>2}

It is very hard to reproduce those low level specifications without rebuilding everything from scratch sadly :(

ECMA5 has real maps, which Opal could use. Some browsers support them already.
