  https://github.com/cheatfate/nimcrypto has a lot of useful crypto-related stuff, including SHA256, and it has been battle tested

  +1 for nimcrypto. I was able to re-build Django's default way of hashing passwords with this (which uses sha256+pbkdf2. It's not quite as fast as what e.g. Django wraps (never bothered looking into that), but fast enough.
