Not only dynamic languages -- Eiffel is the same. I also had to get  
used (again) to use (), but as

x = func
x = func()

clearly do not have the same semantics, I don't see a way around  
requiring to use () for all function calls. Small deal though! (Even  
though it prevents implementing the Uniform Access principle.)

Right!! Same for // vs. -- ... :-)
