Below is “bufio” package documentation, mentioning about “io.Reader object” and I was under impression that there are no objects in go-lang :slight_smile:

6 // object, creating another object (Reader or Writer) that also implements
7 // the interface but provides buffering and some help for textual I/O.

I think “object” here is perfectly clear. Some alternative like “interface-implementing type instance” sounds like unnecessary language lawyering to me.
