Hi Brendan,

There is a template [1] which may be filled out to add support for a new
language.  More generally simply defining a function named
`org-babel-execute:foo' will cause babel to try to execute foo code
blocks using that function.  See the template for existing
`org-babel-execute:*' functions.

I'm not but who knows.  If you do add support for Stata please consider
contributing it to Org-mode (see [2]).

Best,
Eric
