It seems like the Go ecosystem just has a basic bcrypt implementation (golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt) and it's left as an exercise for the developer to extract the key from the encoded output string to then further expand it to satisfy a particular key length if you're going to be using it as an encryption key rather than just storing it as a password in a DB somewhere. It confounds me that there don't seem to be any quick treatments of this concept online for Go or just in general.
At the risk of introducing a bug by doing it myself, I suspect that I'm gonna be forced to use scrypt, where, at least in Go, it does take an output-length parameter.
Am I missing something? Is there an implementation of bcrypt somewhere in Go that takes a key-length parameter and manages producing a key of acceptable length directly?
