Key differences between COBOL and Bash
| Characteristic | COBOL | Bash |
|---|---|---|

| Paradigm | Procedural and imperative programming paradigm. | Scripting and command-line interface, primarily procedural. |
| Typing | Strongly typed with explicit data types. | Weakly typed, variables can hold any type of data. |
| Performance | Optimized for business applications, generally high performance for data processing. | Performance varies, generally slower for complex tasks compared to compiled languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries, primarily focused on business and financial applications. | Rich set of built-in commands and utilities, extensive community scripts. |
| Community and support | Smaller community, primarily in legacy systems and enterprise environments. | Large community with extensive online resources and support. |
