Ruby equivalent of hash.key access like in Javascript?

In Javascript properties can be accessed directly with barewords:

var evil = {"knievel":"evel","daredevil":"fearless"}
evil["knievel"] // "evel"
evil.knievel    // "evel"

Is there anything similar i开发者_如何学编程n Ruby without having to do evil["knievel"]?

require "ostruct"

evil = OpenStruct.new(:knievel => "evel",:daredevil => "fearless")
puts evil.knievel
