I think having functions/procedures with no arguments callable with procedurename() is un-pascal-like as well, but it hardly bothers me that FPK allows it. Just because I don't love it doesn't mean others don't. (There is a lot of C like syntax that has creeped into FPK, but I assume that'S either because it was easy to implement and a few people wanted it, or because it made porting C stuff to Pascal easier).
The reason that FPC allows to call parameterless functions and procedures with "()" is because Delphi (and maybe TP) allows it as well. For procedure/function variables (in non-Delphi modes) it is required however, because this way the compiler can know for sure that a procvar is called instead of just being used as a normal variable.
