Key differences between COBOL and Erlang

Characteristic	COBOL	Erlang
Syntax	COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax.	Erlang uses a concise and functional syntax.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily procedural.	Erlang is primarily functional and concurrent.
Typing	COBOL is statically typed.	Erlang is dynamically typed.
Performance	COBOL is known for its high performance and efficiency.	Erlang is designed for fault-tolerant and scalable systems.
Libraries and frameworks	COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages.	Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed systems.
Community and support	COBOL has a smaller and aging community, but still has support for legacy systems.	Erlang has an active and supportive community.
Learning curve	COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and outdated concepts.	Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming.
