Seems like the new std.Io.Reader no longer has the readInt functions for reading a given integer type with given endianness from the stream. Io.Writer still seems to have writeInt. What do I use instead?
#What happened to `io.Reader.readInt`?

takeInt

Interesting. Why the rename?

it uses the reader's buffer now

And why rename it?

thats what the rest of the functions that read into the reader's buffer and then process the result are called ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think andrew k doesnt like the names Reader and Writer and would rather have it be Source and Sink and so take and put as well
idk if he plans to rename Reader and Writer

Maybe cause read sounds like it's an actual complete operation of reading while take sounds more ambiguous between taking from buffer or taking from an actual read
