This writeup doesn't discuss Secure Random or the impacts of not using a Secure Random number generator when non-predictable randomness is needed.

Thanks! Given the risks of using an insecure RNG in a security critical location, I recommend highlighting it first.

Before 1.3, on the JVM we use Random or even ThreadLocalRandom if we're on JDK > 1.6.

fun IntRange.random() =
Random().nextInt((endInclusive + 1) - start) + start
Used like this:

// will return an Int between 0 and 10 (incl.)
(0..10).random()

@JLLeitschuh We added a new 'Pseudo vs Secure Random Number Generators' section to the article. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
