Looking at these great PL* languages makes me wonder if it would be feasible to use something like GraalVM to write PL functions in R/Java/JS/etc. Oracle DB supports this already (it seems, I've not tried it): https://www.graalvm.org/docs/examples/mle-oracle/ ) - and the advantage of Graal is it supports a wide range of languages and can output native binaries.

We use PLv8 with AWS RDS Postgres. It's super up-to-date amazingly and supports most of the latest ES syntax.
