Missing a section about maps about elixir_style_guide HOT 5 CLOSED

Something like this?

• Use the key: value shorthand syntax for all keys in maps that are atoms.

  # not preferred
  %{:a => 1, :b => 2, "c" => 0}
  
  # preferred
  %{"c" => 0, a: 1, b: 2}

from elixir_style_guide.

Yeah, that's a good start! :)

We could argue about being consistent first, and maybe only use that shorthand syntax only when all keys are atoms probably?

Yes, I would agree with this.

@lobo-tuerto What do you think of this?

• Use the shorthand key-value syntax when all the keys in a map are atoms.

  # not preferred
  %{:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 0}
  
  # preferred
  %{a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}

• Use the verbose key-value syntax when not all the keys in a map are atoms.

  # not preferred
  %{"c" => 0, a: 1, b: 2}
  
  # preferred
  %{:a => 1, :b => 2, "c" => 0}

@christopheradams That looks good!
