In version 7.1 is a procedural language PL/TclU. It's an
unrestricted (and thus untrusted) version of PL/Tcl. Meaning,
since it's possible to do any sort of OS level access from
within the backend under the postgres UNIX user-ID, only
Postgres superusers can create functions in that language.
That's the only choice other than C you have. There are no
plans yet to modify PL/pgSQL in that direction.
