Networking and Streams
Julia provides a rich interface to deal with streaming I/O objects such as terminals, pipes and TCP sockets. This interface, though asynchronous at the system level, is presented in a synchronous manner to the programmer and it is usually unnecessary to think about the underlying asynchronous operation. This is achieved by making heavy use of Julia cooperative threading (coroutine) functionality.
Basic Stream I/O
All Julia streams expose at least a read() and a write() method, taking the stream as their first argument, e.g.:
julia> write(STDOUT,"Hello World"); # suppress return value 11 with ; Hello World julia> read(STDIN,Char
