Re: [swift-evolution] Core Team vs Random number API discussion

I agree with this decision, but I would also add the provision that the random number API be designed in such a way that those with special crypto needs can easily extend the existing random number framework to meet their needs. (Specify their own seed, use their own crypto implementation, etc).

I’ve been going back and forth on whether I’m for or against the current revision of the proposal and I’d have to say that I am in favor of it as is for the following reasons (many of which have already been stated): It was stated early on in this proposal that Python is not going to be given t

Re: [swift-evolution] [Proposal] Random Unification

Huge +1 to stdlib (or even Foundation) random number generator. I’ve worked with random numbers on both Linux and macOS/iOS and have found myself annoyed with the lack of easy random number generators. It seems that implementing a pure Swift RNG would be an obviously good addition to the stdlib.

Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Introducing the "Unwrap or Die" operator to the standard library

I feel that the !! operator would be necessary for indicating that if this fails then something went horribly wrong somewhere and we should throw the fatalError. This allows the inclusion of optimizations using -Ounchecked and is clear that this is an operation that could result in a runtime err
