Hi! I'm working on a PR right now. I've implemented the fix already, but I have trouble with tests - `stack test` uses random-1.1, and uniformR is not found there. Should I use randomR instead? Alternatively, how can I specify that a newer version of random should be used? Best regards, Platon Pronko On 2021-07-15 10:21, Solid wrote:

Looks like it is supposed to simply generate a Double number between 0 and 1 - why such complicated approach was used instead of `uniformR` from System.Random?

this was implemented all the way back in ~2008 it seems; barely anyone from that era is still around, so I doubt you'll get a satisfying answer to _why_ :)

The `uniformR` function didn't exist back then, but `randomR` certainly did; I don't quite know why it was implemented in this convoluted way. I would definitely welcome a pr that fixes this, if you're so inclined.
