Well now you have us curious: What programming language treats methods as something other than what is ultimately a function with an additional implied parameter? Whether a parameter is implicit or explicit doesn't really change anything with respect to the state of the program. You need to construct the state either way.

Indeed, in JS you can call the method with the object explicitly (which allows you to call one objects method with a different object—for better or worse, though usually some meta-programming).
