gollark: So now you just have an overly broad version of a "file" which makes stuff unable to rely on file-y properties as easily?

gollark: Well, yes, and since they can't really be treated the same way why just have one central "write to this" thing with differing behavior?

gollark: If you have a datagram socket thing, then the behavior will be different.

gollark: If you have a *stream*, you can safely write one byte at once (although this may be less efficient), and it's basically the same as writing in batches.

gollark: Which I think has some effects on the most efficient way to write/read them, hence more differences in treatment versus files.
