plx is a PostgreSQL extension that lets you write stored functions and triggers in the dialect you already know (the current set is listed below). When you run CREATE FUNCTION, plx transpiles the body to plpgsql and stores that plpgsql in pg_proc.prosrc.

With @eff.org leaving X, I have too. While I am not normally someone who groupie does anything, EFF is unfortunately correct on this one. X is dead for productive communication.

If you are a Linux Distribution and you implement age verification. I, and many others will actively not only never run your distribution but will work against your distribution. I am semi-retired, have a huge network and a loud voice. Don't be a boot-licker, protect the 1A.
