I would love to see this used in a FIPS-compliant variant of age[1] for archival file encryption use cases. We had banking industry auditors veto age for this use case due to the use of ChaCha instead of AES (they were fine with the X25519 public key part of age which I think was somewhat recently approved by NIST).

I’ve no experience with golang but it seems like it should drop right in based on the age spec. I might give it a shot if time ever permits. I guess I should call it “cage” as in “compliant actually good encryption”
