Has it been independently audited at all? I looked around and didn't find anything about it.

It's probably maybe fine, and of course code can change at any time, but with software focused on security, it would seem more necessary than, say, an audio player (excluding improbable situations).

Either way, It's nice to see a GPG alt written in Go.

There's also a first-class Rust implementation.

That would be Sequoia-PGP: https://sequoia-pgp.org/

No, Thomas was talking about rage. https://github.com/str4d/rage

Thanks for the correction. I hadn’t heard of that project.

Too late to edit my comment: I had misinterpreted “a GPG alt” as meaning a GnuPG alternative implementation of OpenPGP. Only after reading the parent and other ancestral comments did I realise that Age was the project being discussed and that it’s an alternative to OpenPGP – not just GnuPG.
