Charles Hoskinson has described the first Cardano Python smart contract as “Ghost Python.”

For context, Cardano critics have described it as a “ghost chain” in a swipe at its perceived lack of utility. Hoskinson, in turn, has taken this label in stride, often using it to troll critics in the face of significant Cardano milestones or development. 

The latest feat achieved by the ImperatorLang team dedicated to making it possible for developers to create smart contracts on Cardano with Python saw the team compile and deploy the first of these on Cardano’s pre-production testnet, per a tweet from the group on Tuesday.
