    Your post ought to be ample proof that subjective opinions (like the one you display here) are not solid grounds for hiring decisions.

    When looking at this person's github repo, I -unlike you- see a vast number of trivial projects that can best be described as regurgitations of other people's projects. Even worse, if you actually look at his first pinned project (https://github.com/kevinburke/nacl), you'll see that it is nothing but a wrapper with trivial changes/updates.

    TL;DR I see a lot of projects that can provide the illusion of competence but, when actually inspected, telling me not to hire this person.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing simple-scrypt and nacl you can also consider the following projects:

Lean and Mean Docker containers - Slim(toolkit): Don't change anything in your container image and minify it by up to 30x (and for compiled languages even more) making it secure too! (free and open source)

bitwarden-go - A Bitwarden-compatible server written in Golang

BadActor - BadActor.org An in-memory application driven jailer written in Go

ACL - A simple but powerful Access Control List manager

lego - Let's Encrypt/ACME client and library written in Go

certmagic - Automatic HTTPS for any Go program: fully-managed TLS certificate issuance and renewal

argon2-hashing - A light package for generating and comparing password hashing with argon2 in Go

Themis - Easy to use cryptographic framework for data protection: secure messaging with forward secrecy and secure data storage. Has unified APIs across 14 platforms.

passlib - :key: Idiotproof golang password validation library inspired by Python's passlib

memguard - Secure software enclave for storage of sensitive information in memory.

goSecretBoxPassword - A probably paranoid Golang utility library for securely hashing and encrypting passwords based on the Dropbox method. This implementation uses Blake2b, Scrypt and XSalsa20-Poly1305 (via NaCl SecretBox) to create secure password hashes that are also encrypted using a master passphrase.
