Not understanding why having a well-defined function declaration "sucked", but alright, I guess!

I mean even this part:

``` var name = IO.readln("What is your name? "); IO.println("Hello, " + name); ```

is _worse_. `IO.readln` doesn't tell you whether that's file I/O or stdin/out. The more explicit the better, if you ask me.
