🎲 We are currently making deep changes onto our internal random library called pure-rand. Expects lighter bundle on npm and faster to load at execution time within fast-check

Still wondering if we should go full ESM for it. The library is being used by #Jest so we are not sure we do that given they don't support require(esm)

We are currently trying to solve most of the issues that made the #faker project copy paste the code directly in their source code a few years ago

To date pure-rand is the fastest random generator library on npm. And it comes with plenty of built-in generators and distributions (to pull data outside of generators)

The next major is currently under active development and should come with several new distributions and maybe a few extra generators. But for generators we will have to carefully benchmark them one by one to keep our high throughput standard

Any thoughts on something like SplittableRandom? Seems like it would be less awkward to use than jump for creating random streams.
