The smalltalk difference is not just syntax. Smalltalk uses messages instead of function calls. It's a different concept because smalltalk object can handle messages that are not declared on the class body. If you changed the parameters order it would be a different message, and you would not have a compile error, because it would still be possible to an instance to answer that message.
