Here's the Go example. I think Go has made a serious error in centering their 
design around error codes.
----------------------------------------
package main

import (
   "os"
   "bufio"
   "log"
)

func main() {
   file, err := os.Open("fileio.txt", os.O_RDWR | os.O_CREATE, 0666)
   if err != nil {
     log.Exit(err)
   }
   defer file.Close()

   _, err = file.Write([]byte("hello\n"))
   if err != nil {
     log.Exit(err)
   }

   _, err = file.Write([]byte("world\n"))
   if err != nil {
     log.Exit(err)
   }

   // seek to the beginning
   _, err = file.Seek(0,0)
   if err != nil {
     log.Exit(err)
   }

   bfile := bufio.NewReader(file)
   _, err = bfile.ReadBytes('\n')
   if err != nil {
     log.Exit(err)
   }

   line, err := bfile.ReadBytes('\n')
   if err != nil {
     log.Exit(err)
   }

   os.Stdout.Write(line)
}
