That and the fact that most of the folks working on the language have been
programming in C, C++, etc. for years, and it probably never occurred to
most of them to have a different function declaration syntax in the first
place. Even if there's a better way to do something, if it never occurs to
you that there's anything wrong with the current way, you're not going to
come up with a new one.
