Age uses standard (and modern) cryptography, and is itself standardized[1].
This is in contrast to the PGP ecosystem, which is infamously fragmented and insistent on maintaining support for insecure and home-baked schemes (e.g. 4880’s weird custom CFB mode). Sequoia has made some progress on the UX side of things, but PGP is a dead horse as far as modern, even conservative cryptographic software design goes.
