    This may very well be a bit offtopic in the rust subreddit, but in case you need fast high quality non-crypto PRNG in Go, I've made one that I believe to be decent. It is unfortunate that math/rand is unlikely to significantly improve due to the backward compatibity and can't be recommended for anything non-trivial.

    I got a bit stuck trying to find a set of good permutation functions for all required bit widths; I've created an issue to collect information in one place.
