    I see what you mean; https://github.com/samuel-lucas6/ChaCha20-BLAKE2b would be considered borderline rolling your own. Especially when compared to https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/commit/2194f6962c8bb3bca8a55f313d5b9302596b593b as one solution or mitigation to the attack, and considering that it does not seem to a big problem for key based encryption (judging by the comments in that commit).

    Yes, I've implemented XChaCha20-BLAKE2b as an AEAD construction. You can find the code and explanation here. I received some feedback from someone who has worked on real primitives. They pointed out a big-endian bug in the code, which I fixed. They didn't mention anything else.
