Hey all,
I am proud to publish a report of my GSoC work as two extensive
blog posts, which explain non-uniform random sampling and the
mir.random.flex package (part of Mir > 0.16-beta2):

It's really nice to see that GSoC has been such a huge success so
far. Everyone has done some really great work.
Over the next weeks and months I will continue my work on
mir.random, which is supposed to supersede std.random, so in
case you aren’t following the Mir project [1, 2], stay tuned!
Best regards,
Seb

I'm curious, have you come up with a solution to what is probably
the biggest problem with std.random, i.e., it uses value types
and copying? I remember a lot of discussion about this and it
seemed at the time that the only really solid solution was to
make all random generators classes, though I think DIP1000 *may*
help here.
