Is this completely unrealistic or is it carved in stone PostgreSQL will always be a C project forever and ever?

From my very limited understanding, PostgreSQL is more likely to be converted to C++!

ISTM that currently pg is written C89. Personnaly I think that C99 (standard from 18 years ago...) would be a progress, but this has been rejected in the past because of portability issues on some platforms (eg MS Visual C++ started to support part of C99 in ... 2013).
