The way to go about prohibiting their usage altogether is specific to your
installation method. But by default those languages are not installed into
newly created databases and only a superuser can "CREATE EXTENSION" so
without superuser intervention uses in the database will be unable to
create functions in those languages. If that is an insufficient level of
prevention you would have to somehow get your installation of PostgreSQL to
not include those core extensions. I'm pretty sure that during compilation
you ​can do this. For packaged distributions I do not know what all is
involved (i.e., what you have to choose to not install).
