That parameter/argument syntax is just a leftover mindset from

"hidden" parameters or "translated" arguments.



    It's amusing that you call "that parameter/argument syntax" a
"leftover mindset" of "traditional function-oriented languages". So OO
must have won, then. Should I stop programming in Haskell now and
learn Java?
