Yup. Every single modern programming language out there has a crypto library.

The high-level languages (e.g. Go) have crypto built into the standard library.

The low-level languages (e.g C or Rust) all have at least one or more well supported third party crypto libraries (e.g. 
for C there's OpenSSL, GnuTLS, LibreSSL, Boring SSL, Mbed TLS ... and those are the ones that I can think of off the 
top of my head).

There's no need to do any crypto "from scratch", and indeed you SHOULD NOT.
