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.

Depends on:

Which is written in C and asm.
