  Depends on: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettle_(cryptographic_library) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettle_(cryptographic_librar... Which is written in C and asm.

  Just to make clear, this is a Rust implementation of Open PGP under GPL 3.0. It provides an API for doing things with PGP, but I couldn't tell if it provides any end user applications at the moment. Is that correct? I'm quite excited by it as I'm hoping it will give a nicer abstraction than GPG -- although quite a lot of the problems I have with GPG is actually baggage from Open PGP.

    In the talk at RustFest this weekend, they mentioned they’re taking a “library-first” approach, since many people resorted to shelling out to the binary for gpg. So I believe so, yes.
