What I'd really like to see is a more full-fledged random API for JavaScript. So, you'd have functions like `randomInt(start, end)`, `randomFloat(start, end)`, `randomBoolean()`, maybe you can even have different randomFloat() functions that generate numbers over configurable distributions. The ability to seed multiple independent generators would be nice as well.

I had started a bit of a discussion around this in the past: [A more complete random API?](https://es.discourse.group/t/a-more-complete-random-api/842)
