eh...you know, if you're in the right parts its actually pretty pleasant. there is alot of good design in Postgres.

otoh, there is some awful legacy stuff, and some really awfully crosscutting stuff around physical logging (I just looked at the locking around running queries on a replica, and that's clearly never going to be correct)

despite the fact that its in C, given a couple major refactors that will never happen, it could be really nice
