it looks like your javascript extensions are out of date and appear to be abandoned.

https://github.com/plv8/plv8 is the canonical one, and is still active. https://github.com/plv8/pljs is the lightweight alternative, still in alpha.

It seems like many of the extensions have empty READMEs?

We have made the core of QueenMQ (our open source message queue) available directly as PG extension: pg_qpubsub

Allows for having Kafka semantics (produce,consume,commit with consuer group) directly inside PG.

Hi Joel, this extension adds direct comparisons from numerical (float4, float8, numeric) to integral (int2, int4, int8) types, for better plans and (mathematically) "correct" results: pg_num2int_direct_comp.
