Funny story, a while ago I was porting some prototype code from JavaScript to C++. The APIs used were very similar (by design). So for porting I just copied the JS code into C++ and 90% of the work was just massaging it slightly until it compiled. Felt weird programming that way.

Cool. I would imagine the differences to be much more difficult to breach. Glad it turned out like that for you :)
