js-nacl

Probably the best KDF you'll get right now is scrypt[1]. NaCl did not see common adoption because until a relatively recent distribution called Sodium[2], it was not portable. And I mean really, not portable. Like, just to give an example, suppose you want to use NaCl in Node.js, which is pretty good about accepting C/C++ modules. You have two options today: one doesn't work on a 64-bit system[3] and one isn't C, it's JS which was transpiled with Emscripten[4]. I mean, don't get me wrong: the fact that we can now do this in pure JS via Emscripten is amazing, but yeah, NaCl was not universally buildable and therefore was not reliably deployable, and nobody really wanted to fix it until Sodium came along.
