Agree, I recently did some research into Lisk since I keep hearing it mentioned and was pretty surprised how much I liked it, like u said the ability to let people program in sub java language opens it to more developers right away.
The other coin that I think he missed and would replace iota on that list with is WTC. Walton Chain has an rfid system that has so many uses. Right away, if you watch video on the new amazon stores where you walk in and grab stuff and go, those stores use multiple cameras to track what was taken, yet it’s not super accurate for mainstream and is a flawed system. WTC can install their systems for a tiny fraction of the cost of all the cameras and it’s is incredibly accurate.
