That's really not the same as the others though, as it's a convention. That's arguing that passing a Python dict or Namespace to a function is the same as named arguments in the function's definition itself. You can do the same in Java with Dictionary<string,object> if you want.

I wouldn't call that the same. In Typescript the arguments object is fully typed, while in Java you lose all typing.
