Not a lawyer, but I think if you just port it to another language 
it is a derived work in GPL and the ported project must also be 
GPL.

However, if you're completely re-writing each function, I don't 
know. Companies that do this would have one team look at every 
function and write some specs for it and have another group write 
it without reference to the original.
