A state monad has (like you say) the disadvantage that it is
single threaded. A big problem then is laziness; it becomes

Hello,
Undoubtedly you can write your own monad and encapsulate
the random number generation yourself. It is just an
instance of a state monad.
Nevertheless, the problem of using state monads for random number
generation is that the code must be single-threaded, which is
sometimes too restric

No; that appears to embed a generator in the IO monad.
Not what I'd hope

Hi.
Is the
Does anybody know of work using monads to encapsulate a source of
random numbers? A quick web search suggested Haskell 98 did not take
this path. I'd be curious for any insights why, or any suggestions
about a `randomness monad'.
