Can anyone security minded comment on how this tool compares to the Scuttlebutt Secure Handshake[1]?

Notably I've been looking at various modern "safe and easy" crypto tools and found Scuttlebutts handshake interesting. Yet, the entire protocol was a bit difficult to use, and left me with the impression that I'd have to write a lot myself in my preferred language (Rust) to get a batteries included experience. And, for good reason, I'm always hesitant to write anything about crypto hah.

... though, now that I'm looking for a Rust salt pack lib, it doesn't seem to exist in Rust either. Humm.
