Just for the sake of being something new, and not a copy of some old opossum, that's rotting like road kill on the side of the highway for a decade already.
Well, I don't think PostgreSQL needs its own PL. I mean we already have several (what other database has pl/javascript or pl/python?)
Besides, the idea of this community trying to build its own programming language... oh lord ;)
