No, it's a matter of _what_ the correct syntax is.

Just as both of these are legal:

if (true)
     writeln(true);

if (true)
{
     writeln(true);
}

Both of these could be legal as well:

void foo ();

foo();
foo;

There are several other languages where the parentheses are optional: 
Ruby, Scala and CoffeeScript to mention a few.
