Tangling does not require *any* language specific support. Since the
integration of Babel into Org-mode any type of code block should tangle
just fine. For example the following minimal org file tangles a code
block of the fictional /schulte/ language to a file "eric.sh"
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* top
#+begin_src schulte :tangle eric.sh
hello world
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It does look like there is fertile ground for Babel<->Ledger
integration.
