If "most idiomatic" means "functionally correct, easy to read, and easy to understand"
then I prefer the first:
(1 to: 100) collect: [:ea | 100 atRandom]
I can read it from left to right, and it tells me that I am collecting
100 elements and putting 100 atRandom into each of the 100 elements.
It's also simple, just a collect: and nothing more.
