I'm a hobbiest new to Go as well. In the x library (still part of the standard library) written by the Go Authors is argon2. It allows for salting, stretching and hashing passwords. The recent guru commentary I've read is that "new implementations of applications which will use password hashing should probably use argon2". In my particular case I salt, pepper, stretch and hash all passwords. And use sha3 (also in the x library) for preliminary twiddling.
