It has no obvious drawbacks either. I switch routinely between C/C++, 
Objective-C, C#, Javascript, a few other languages and of course Lua 
(sometimes with 2-3 languages on the same project) and all I have to do 
is a context switching.

Yes, sometimes I experience minor slips (like putting a comma after the 
last array initializer in C) but I really do not perceive syntax 
differences as a problem. I even find them useful in consolidating the 
context switching when looking at a piece of code.
