### WASM support

The WASM target `wasm32-unknown-unknown` is not *automatically* supported by
`rand` or `getrandom`. To solve this, either use a different target such as
`wasm32-wasi` or add a direct dependency on `getrandom` with the `js` feature
(if the target supports JavaScript). See
Seeding entropy from OS on WASM target `wasm32-unknown-unknown` is not
*automatically* supported by `rand` or `getrandom`. If you are fine with
seeding the generator manually, you can disable the `getrandom` feature
and use the methods on the `SeedableRng` trait. To enable seeding from OS,
either use a different target such as `wasm32-wasi` or add a direct
dependency on `getrandom` with the `js` feature (if the target supports
JavaScript). See
[getrandom#WebAssembly support](https://docs.rs/getrandom/latest/getrandom/#webassembly-support).
