A large number of statistical distributions in JavaScript

Hi there, I've been working on this library for a while. It started as having the need for just a few random generators that are statistically tested and it quickly escalated to 130+ distributions... So far that's the only library I've seen that has generators that are fully covered by tests. I hope you guys find it useful.

A large number of statistical distributions in JavaScript launched on February 23, 2022 with 6 votes, #1,271 of 2,645 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

    Hi HN! Thanks for your attention to my post. It was a big challenge to run most of Node.js packages in browser, fast moreover. Virtual File system, resolve import/export. I got cold many times, depressions, burned out, yet still alive and finished it. Many guys helped me with an advice. Many users give a lot of positive feedback. There are 200,000 monthly unique users. I work full time now because of the freemium business model. To be honest - I am happy after many years of hard work.
