Key differences between Carbon and COBOL
| Characteristic | Carbon | COBOL |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, modern, concise, designed for readability and familiarity for C++ developers. | English-like, verbose, designed for business data processing and readability by non-programmers. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm (primarily object-oriented and procedural), designed as a successor to C++. | Procedural, with some support for object-oriented programming in later versions. |
| Typing | Statically typed, with strong type safety and modern type system features. | Statically typed, but with less strict type safety and older type system conventions. |
| Performance | Aims for high performance, similar to or better than C++, suitable for systems programming. | Optimized for batch and transaction processing; good for business applications but not for low-level or high-performance computing. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited, as it is a new and experimental language; intended to interoperate with C++ libraries. | Rich set of libraries for business, finance, and legacy systems, but limited modern ecosystem. |
| Community and support | Small, emerging community; mainly experimental with limited support. | Large legacy community, especially in banking and government; strong support for maintaining existing systems. |
| Learning curve | Moderate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with C++ or modern systems languages. | Gentle for business logic, but can be steep due to legacy systems and outdated tooling. |
