What's a smart way of using ActiveSupport or perhaps regular built in Ruby functionality to take two arrays and merge them into a hash where each element in an array matches the element in a parallel array? imagine two arrays:

names = ["Danny", "Johnny"]
ages = ["25", "32"]

The end result should be a hash that looks like:

{"Danny" => "25", "Johnny" => "32"}
