            Hi,

              
              Out of curiosity, why is Postgresql's Java support so
              poor? I am

              specifically looking for the ability to write triggers in
              Java. 
            
              
              I took a look at the PL/Java project and it looked both
              incomplete and dead,

              yet other languages like _javascript_ are taking off. I
              would have expected to

              see very strong support for Java because it's the most
              frequently used

              language on the server-side.

              
              What's going on? Why isn't this a core language supported
              alongside SQL,

              Perl and Python as part of the core project?

            
             Out of curiosity and what's going on? Why there is no
              Common Lisp
            in PostgresSQL's core? :-)

    Dmitri,
        please be careful.  Your risking all the emacs users chiming in!
