I was skeptical, but then saw:

   author	Thomas Pornin

Yeah, "should not implement your own crypto" doesn't apply to him.

From his CV http://www.bolet.org/~pornin/cv-en.html :

    AES (Advanced Encryption Standard, 1997 to 2000): co-author of the block cipher DFC
    eSTREAM (ECRYPT Stream Cipher Project, 2004 to 2008): co-author of the stream cipher SOSEMANUK (admitted in the final portfolio)
    SHA-3 (2007 to 2012): co-author of the cryptographic hash function Shabal (selected for second round)
    PHC (Password Hashing Competition, 2013 to 2015): author of the password hashing function Makwa (finalist, was awarded a "special recognition")
    Author of the sphlib library: optimized implementations of many cryptographic hash functions, both in C and Java.
    Author of RFC 6979: Deterministic Usage of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).

Yeah, doesn't apply to him.

Definitely, most of my crypto searches ends up landing on one of his answers :)

And you are Dmitry! We use your TweetNacl-js implementation for https://github.com/wallix/PEPS!

After a little bit of looking around on the internet, I think I agree.
