IMO, it's because they're lazy to declare things before they use it. Often,
an anonymous function which first used just once eventually used more than
once. When that happens, users of languages with anonymous function would
refactor the function by removing it from the anonymous context into a
standalone named function, and re-pass it. Where as for Pascal style users,
that's not needed because the function is already named and standalone.
