@dabeaz Would a C version be acceptable in your Rust project? There are high-quality single-C-file random number generators at

@khinsen Sure, but why can't there be a nice single-file Rust version? (Maybe there is, but I need to search harder).

@faassen @dabeaz @khinsen Unfortunately for me, this is a perfect example of why you should just look for the smallest crate which does the job you want to do; there's a lot of energy wasted re-inventing a wheel.

@khleedril @faassen @khinsen Agree. I'm not sure I'd follow much of anything from that blog post except to look a bit further into the `fastrand` crate. Maybe I'd call out to drand48 in C.
