Age - The PGP Replacement (alpha) (github.com)

"The PGP Replacement" So does this have some kind of official backing that means it's likely to surplant PGP?

I don't really know how these things work. Does it require a certain amount of backing to do so?

> It’s meant to replace the use of gpg for encrypting files, backups, streams, etc.
