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.
