The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/functions-matching.html
Description:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-matching.html
> If you have pattern matching needs that go beyond this, consider writing a
user-defined function in Perl or Tcl.
If you start from scratch today, it is unlikely that you use Perl or Tcl.
I think this message on above page needs an update.

That statement is not that way because we haven't thought about it.
Of the options we provide in the core distro, plpython is less suitable
because it only comes in an untrusted form (for lack of any workable
sandboxing feature in Python). So plperl or pltcl is what there is.

Curious: why plv8 is still not in the core distro?

plv8 requires a ton of dependencies and is very hard to build.
