Out of interest, why was it deprecated?

[ilya.gorbunov]

We've deprecated most of its functions, and also are going to deprecate random as soon as there is a replacement.

Regarding the reason why — we'd like to reduce the confusion of having both kotlin.math with the top-level functions and kotlin.js.Math object with the same functions. Especially because there are subtle differences and inconsistencies in the latter ones: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-17716

@ilya.gorbunov Which kind of replacement do you prepare for Random ? I personally wrote a Linear Congruential Generator in pure kotlin because the language doesn't provide multiplateform random ... 😕
