Experience Postgres's ever-growing group of internal programming languages!

It's also a programming environment, and you can write programs that run inside in your favorite language, at least if your favorite language is C, Java, Javascript, LOLCODE, Perl, PHP, Python, R, Ruby, Scheme, Shell, SQL or Tcl. The list keeps growing.
