You mean MSSQL? Because Postgres has an excellent procedural language built-in, as well as support for lots of others....

Perhaps it does. I've dealt with horrible procedural code in t-sql and pl/SQL and maybe Postgres is better but I'm in no hurry to find out.

I'm a Scala developer by profession and have dealt with horrible Scala code. People can write horribly in any language.

I agree with this but also with the other child comment; it is really really easy to write unreadable plpgsql
