What's different from this and Lisk?
On the understanding level - Nothing.
On the code level - A lot.
For instance,different Linux kernels exist for a reason.Their parents are same but code optimization and algorithms used on the system level is what makes them different.Similarly,the case with ASC when compared to Lisk.They both offer a few similar features to serve as a framework for creating Dapps but it is their internal implementation and ease of use is what makes them different.With ASC'S user-friendly modules,it wouldn't take much time in setting up the apps,even newbies for that matter can start writing their own Dapps since day 1 of their introduction to the framework.We're primarily focusing on the algorithms and trying to reduce the time and space complexity for better analysis.
Nothing, both were rolled out by a crooked baboon at the railway station in northern japan. They should be more thoughtful about user response if they dont wanna be buried under volcanic rock in fukushima prefecture.
We're more bothered about user's learning curve while using our framework for the first time.
Sorry, but it's looks like LISK. But cheaper version of course
Where differences?
Also, there too big terms for goals which listed in roadmap. Everything can be launched within 2-3 month after IPO (i mean everything which listed in 2017)
To add a few notable differences that I can think of right now (from the "n" number of them)
-ASC Custom Plugin Feature.
-ASC Plugin marketplace.(so one doesn't have to re-write the code already written by someone) .Paid and free usage options available which is upto the app developers.
-Supports Multi-threading etc.
