Yes, right now I want to make uuids by getting random numbers from
window.crypto.getRandomValues. To generate good uuids without risk of
collisions we need 128 bits of randomness, which the current random
packages do not supply (they only supply 32, which is not enough).
It would be great to be able to do
port random : Int -> Task Never (List Int)
and in javascript do something like this:
app.ports.random.handle(function (n, callback) {
var array = new Uint32Array(n);
window.crypto.getRandomValues(array);
callback(null, array);
});
Right now, I have to write a native function to make the task, or make two
ports and subscribe and keep track of the random numbers somehow.
