I have been using a version of SRFI 27 for Kawa that is part of a the
"r7rs-libs" collection of libraries put together by Peter Lane a while
back. On checking the online sources now, though, the material seems to
have fallen off the Web at some point in the past year, so here is an
archive.org link that I found to a version from last year:

https://www.lispforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=4635The implementation is quite simple and builds on java.util.Random, but
not SecureRandom).
That collection (r7rs-libs) has some other useful libraries too, such as
a good portion (maybe all) of SLIB.
