Ledger (software)

Accounting data is stored in a plain text file, using a simple format, which the users prepare themselves using other tools.Linux Weekly News editor Jonathan Corbet found Ledger to be a "powerful tool", particularly for generating reports, but that the software lacked many of the features necessary to scale to the needs of a small business.[3] Joe Barr writing for Linux.com commented "If you're an MBA who groks Emacs and regular expressions, or a kernel hacker who appreciates tax deferred accruals, you'll love this application.[5] The Ledger system and file format have been quite influential, reimplemented in several other languages and inspiring similar tools.Actively developed ports[6] include Abandon[7] in Scala, Beancount[8] in Python, and hledger[9] in Haskell.
