How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to COBOL in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Clojure code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Clojure to COBOL using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
Clojure
COBOL
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Clojure
COBOL
Key differences between Clojure and COBOL
Characteristic | Clojure | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on parentheses and prefix notation. | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with a focus on readability. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms. | COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language with limited support for object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | COBOL is statically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile-time. |
Performance | Clojure is known for its good performance due to its efficient implementation on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). | COBOL is generally considered to have slower performance compared to modern programming languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with strong integration with Java libraries. | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, as it is an older language with a smaller community. |
Community and support | Clojure has an active and supportive community, with regular updates and contributions. | COBOL has a smaller and less active community compared to modern programming languages. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like syntax. | COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in procedural programming. |
