Hi all, It looks like since the paper has come out the code has been released to Hackage. I personally would love to replace System.Random with something like this. I think the question of whether it's time comes down to some due-diligence issues outside the scope of the paper. This library has C code, have people tested it extensively on Mac/Linux/Windows? Does it have any performance divots we should know about? (Though the performance of the legacy implementation was bad in many respects -- it is a low bar.) -Ryan On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 3:12 PM, Nicolas Frisby <nicolas.frisby@gmail.com>wrote:

Bugs #3575 #3620 have to do with splitting StdGens yielding dependent generators.
The Haskell 2013 paper *Splittable Pseudorandom Number Generators Using Cryptographic Hashing* by Claessen and Pałka yielded the tf-random package on Hackage.
Are there any plans to integrate these corrections into System.Random?
Thanks.
