Thanks for your reply.
But if a database has 100+ connections then isn't loading any such interpreter consumes more memory and requires more CPU? Does all PL languages behave in the same fashion?

session loads any interpreter they require. That interpreter remains loaded
for the duration of the session. So each individual connection will load its
own interpreter, once, at the time of the first function call requiring that
interpreter. Most widely used languages also cache various bits of important
information about the functions you run, the first time you run them in a
session, to avoid needing to look up or calculate that information again when
you run the function next time.
