I've finished my testing of #AGE vs. #GPG #encryption and published the results here:

AGE vs. GPG (PGP) Encryption

Benchmarking AGE vs GPG. Is it time to move on from the long trusted GPG utility?

If you read this in the first few minutes of it being posted; I made a couple of edits to clarify a few things, such as the type of GPG public key I used, and a few other things.

Cool! But age doesn't do signatures, right? Or does it? Can I sign a document (with or without encryption), so that others can verify its authenticity?

@debacle @wiktor Negative. I cover that in the post. AGE only does encryption, kinda like Minisign only does signatures, and neither are as well integrated into the desktop as PGP, so GPG/PGP still has its use cases until other things gain wider adoption and integration.
