Hi, I like it, I just want to suggest a fix to the code: in the ToString method, replace with this:
func (sb *stringBuffer) ToString() string {
data := sb.data[0:sb.index]
return strings.Join(data, "")
}

otherwise, you collect all lines even with strings that are left after slice() was ran

Missing the setlength method for easy truncating, isn't it?
