Speaking of language choice, no one said that _all_ the source code would need to be rewritten. It would be nice, for example, if PostgreSQL rewrote the current GUC system with a glue language like Lua (which is also very C-like).
No it wouldn't. All it would mean is that you'd need developers fluent in both languages.
If this were a greenfields project we might well now make choices other than those made in the past, but that doesn't mean we should constantly revisit those decisions.
