Yup. I literally just gave a talk at two Go conferences in the last two weeks (GopherCon India and GopherCon Dubai) about the io.Reader/io.Writer interfaces specifically. They're deceptively simple on the surface, but they're insanely powerful once you 'get' them.

It would be interesting to know more about the power you seen in `io.Reader` and `io.Writer`. They seem to say, effectively, that every type implements serialization from bytes and serialization to bytes. Generic serialization is not so unusual but maybe in the context of Go can be so much more?
