🚰 Buffering in Go: faster I/O without the headaches

In 2025, reading or writing byte by byte is a recipe for sluggish apps and angry users.

πŸŒ€ bufio lets you:

  • Read stdin in large, efficient chunks
  • Write to files without flooding syscalls
  • Build TCP echo servers with live transformations
  • Parse custom CSV fields using custom token splitters

✨ Bonus: Built-in Flush(), Peek(), and adjustable buffers make it surprisingly powerful β€” all inside the standard library.
