This is neat. A quick browse through the code, looks like it uses DJB's chacha and polyxxx underneath.

I've been waiting for a worthy replacement for "crypt" for a very long time, and gpg, while it can be coaxed into doing that with much effort has simply become a bloated abomination at this point.

Hope this gets vetted by the crypto community and gains popularity.

Not that I disagree but just a quick note that Filippo is very much a part of the cryptographic community.
