Write your stored procedures in any language you like. Postgres supports pgSQL, Tcl, Perl, and Python out of the box, with third-party bindings for some other languages.

When procedural coding is necessary, use a procedural language, in your stored procedures. What's the problem?

Valid point. I should have been more clear in my original post. The issue was more that it was institutionalized to write all stored procedures in MS-SQL, rather than utilizing available CLR options (at least for the vast majority of the time). It should be noted that I'm complaining about a specific company's development method and not the practice altogether.
