BLAKE2 is a fast, modern hash function, based on improvements to the BLAKE function, which was a SHA3 finalist. BLAKE2 performs about twice as fast in software as SHA3 winner Keccak:

BLAKE2 has received an informational RFC 7693 from the IETF:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693

It was added to the Python standard library in Python 3.6:

https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/hashlib-blake2.html

If there's interest in supporting BLAKE2 in the Ruby standard library, I can put together a patch.
