    Nice job! A while back, I bumped into https://github.com/go-faker/faker, which got integrated into https://benthos.dev for fake data generation. What were the design considerations when you started gofakeit? Does it have any niche features which faker doesn't provide or is there anything you'd like to see added to it? I'll give it a spin later to explore the API a bit.
