  • Final SRFI 194: Random data generators

    From Arthur A. Gleckler@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 26 15:56:20 2020
    Scheme Request for Implementation 194,
    "Random data generators,"
    by Shiro Kawai (design), Arvydas Silanskas (implementation), Linas
    Vepštas (implementation), and John Cowan (editor and shepherd),
    has gone into FINAL status.

    The document and an archive of the discussion are available at <https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-194/>.

    Here's the abstract:

    This SRFI defines a set of SRFI 158 generators and generator makers
    that yield random data of specific ranges and distributions. It is
    intended to be implemented on top of SRFI 27, which provides the
    underlying source of random integers and floats.

    Here is the commit summary since the most recent draft:

    - Match Copyright Office recommendations.
    - Remove trailing whitespace.
    - Add missing ", and".
    - Remove "in tail position" per John.
    - Fix error in example.
    - Add links to other SRFIs.
    - copy edits
    - Finalize.

    Here are the diffs since the most recent draft:

    this SRFI.
