The translator device reads the text from start to end, converts it to a token sequence, and emits a different smell for each token. Does that mean C is a "smell-based programming language"? If C was represented in an olfactory manner my code would be deemed a bio-hazard.

Certainly lends new meaning to the concept of "code smell".
