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.
