No, it's a matter of _what_ the correct syntax is.
Just as both of these are legal:
if (true)
writeln(true);
if (true)
{
writeln(true);
}
Both of these could be legal as well:
void foo ();
foo();
foo;
There are several other languages where the parentheses are optional:
Ruby, Scala and CoffeeScript to mention a few.
