  A simple and fast random number generator

  A Rust library for random number generation.

  

I really don't think that this crate is necessary. Firstly the PCG generators are not as good as promised and secondly the rand crate has a fast but non-cryptographically secure PRNG built-in, called SmallRng which uses the xorshiro256/xorshiro128 generators, which are part of the xorshiro family and are superior to the PCG generators (The author of xorshiro says that, take it with a pinch of salt)
