 ## Syntax
 
-Tables are written using `{}` curly braces with `=` equals signs associating key
+Tables are written using `{}` curly braces with `:` colons associating key
 expressions with value expressions and commas between entries:
 
 ```tomo
-table := {"A"=10, "B"=20}
+table := {"A": 10, "B": 20}
 ```
 
 Empty tables must specify the key and value types explicitly:
 
 ```tomo
-empty : {Text=Int} = {}
+empty : {Text:Int} = {}
 ```
 
 For type annotations, a table that maps keys with type `K` to values of type
-`V` is written as `{K=V}`.
+`V` is written as `{K:V}`.
 
 ### Comprehensions
 
 Similar to lists, tables can use comprehensions to dynamically construct tables:
 
 ```tomo
-t := {i=10*i for i in 10}
-t := {i=10*i for i in 10 if i mod 2 == 0}
-t := {-1=-10, i=10*i for i in 10}
+t := {i: 10*i for i in 10}
+t := {i: 10*i for i in 10 if i mod 2 == 0}
+t := {-1: -10, i: 10*i for i in 10}
 ```
