Hello all,
Apologies for what is effectively cross-posting, but I want to be
sure that this announcement reaches the widest possible audience.
I've just published a new dub package that is intended to serve
as testing ground for a std.random successor:

http://braingam.es/2014/06/hap-random-a-new-random-number-library-for-d/
http://code.braingam.es/hap/random/
This library addresses the long-known issues related to the need
for reference-type RNGs, and adds a number of pieces of new
functionality taking advantage of that fact.
I was originally going to try and push this as a std.experimental
module, but in light of recent discussion on std.experimental's
purpose, I think it's best to go the dub route first and get some
user experience before proceeding down that route.
So, I'd really appreciate it if as many of you as possible could
give this an actual spin (not just reading the code:-) and report
on how it works with your applications.
Thanks and best wishes,
-- Joe
