Eval-time random number generator for Nix without IFD
Note Please don't use this
- 🔥 Blazingly slow
- 🙏 Perfectly uniform distributions if you believe in it
- 🚀 Impure, unreproducible, and indeterministic
- 🔒 Cryptographically secure, perchance, I think?
- ⚡ Significantly more efficient than all known alternatives
- 💖 Made with love
