I think the only substantial criticism to this approach is that it can be tempting to try to write the familiar thing in the same style as you wrote before. But, often the style of authoring needs to change with the new language in order if you want to take advantage of the strong points of the language. In other words, I don't recommend translating the code "verbatim" if you go this route.
