I recently checked out the new `IO` class introduced in Java 25, and I was surprised to see that it only has five methods, all aimed at `System.in` and `System.out`. Given its purpose for beginners, shouldn't it have a more specific name? The term 'IO' feels too broad, especially when it might imply more functionalities than it actually offers.

Honestly, arguing about the verbosity of a class name is classic Java! To be fair, the `IO` class is meant to simplify interactions, especially for those just starting out programming, making both scripting and quick testing easier without needing a lot of overhead.
Totally! Sometimes simple is better, and if it helps beginners get comfortable, then it's a win.
