Proof of concept implementation is in:

"Alphabet" here still, to me, implies a character set, not a byte stream. Maybe
getBytesFromString? getBytesFromList? getBytesFrom() (because you're getting it "from"
the string that's

Tim Düsterhus and I have updated the RFC and have broadly adopted the

Secondly, we have extended t
Hi

I'm just wondering if that's really necessary. Generating a boolean is
trivial with the nextFloat method (see example 1. Simulate a coinflip
from the RFC).
No, IMO. Mathematically it doesn't really make sense and talking abo

Hi
I would like to introduce a new method for the new Randomizer class [1].
I would like to have a function that generates a random string for me
based on a given alphabet. This function is useful as a building block,
as many use cases require generating random strings with a specified
list o
