bendc has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-values] random() function == Hi, I see many authors (myself included) rely on JavaScript's `Math.random()` to generate a number they can then use to randomize colors, positions, animation delays etc. While it's fairly straightforward to do so (notably with custom properties), a potential `random` function (or keyword) in CSS would make a lot of sense, especially in conjunction with `calc()` and friends. AFAICT @tabatkins proposed something similar quite a few years ago, but I don't think we've discussed it recently, and I think we should reevaluate this option now that we have more context and background on how custom properties and mathematical expressions are being used in CSS.
