In ruby 2 6 or before only symbol keys were allowed in keyword arguments.
Ruby keyword arguments default.
Luckily ruby 2 1 introduced required keyword arguments which are defined with a trailing colon.
Undefined method for nil nilclass var.
Wrong number of arguments ruby 2 7 or later.

In ruby 2 7 keyword arguments can use non symbol keys.

Def foo kwargs kwargs end foo key 42 ruby 2 6 or before.

After looking more deeply into this it seemed that in ruby 2 0 we couldn t make keyword arguments required.
To make keyword arguments required you simply omit the default value after the key like this.
I think the keyword arguments version is prettier.
