A 100% Perl project in 2018 is a rare sight.

(Implementing a SQL formatter in pure SQL is not impossible, but would be quite a tour de force. Just a thought.)

The most productive language of Gilles, well-known in the Postgres community by the way, is perl, and he can do completely crazy things with it. See for example pgbadger (https://github.com/darold/pgbadger), one of his other projects.
