ADR: Limited Stata support #66

Closed lucyb closed 3 months ago

lucyb commented 4 months ago

Write an ADR in this format to record that we're only providing very limited support for Stata within the dev container environment and what the consequences of this decision are.

[!NOTE] Please read Michael Nygard's blog post about how to document an architecture decision first.

Rough Decision

We’ve decided to not provide a development environment for writing Stata code. We will support the use of Stata via opensafely run within the dev container environment.

Rough Consequences

Only a very small number of researchers use Stata at the moment, most of them use R, so we believe this will have a no, or a very minimal impact, on researchers.
