Feature request: Array.prototype.random

[Michał Wadas]

I believe it's too specialized to be a part of Array interface.

Though, I think JS should have better support for randomness, so we could
do:

prng.pick(arr);
prng.sample(arr, 5);
prng.sampleWithoutRepetitions(arr, 4);

Dear es-discuss,

I would like to propose Array.prototype.random, which would return a random
array element the same way `array[Math.floor(Math.random() *
array.length)]` does, because every time I want a random array element, I
have to remember how to do it. Do you think this is a useful addition to
the language?
