I agree, as long as accepted coding practices of the 'new' language aren't
abused.  For example, I've seen cases where the C preprocessor was used
to make C code look like Pascal:

#define BEGIN {
#define END }
...etc...

The resultant code is only attractive and maintainable to the person 
that wrote it.
