Key differences between COBOL and Oberon+
| Characteristic | COBOL | Oberon+ |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Verbose, English-like syntax designed for readability and business logic. | Concise, Pascal-like syntax with modern enhancements and simplicity. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some support for structured programming. | Multi-paradigm: procedural, modular, and supports object-oriented features. |
| Typing | Static, weak typing with fixed data types and explicit declarations. | Static, strong typing with type safety and modern type system. |
| Performance | Optimized for batch processing and transaction-heavy workloads; efficient for business applications. | Generally efficient due to simplicity and modern compiler optimizations, but less focused on legacy business workloads. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited, mostly legacy libraries focused on business, finance, and mainframe integration. | Limited but more modern libraries, with some support for graphics, networking, and system programming. |
| Community and support | Large legacy community, strong support in enterprise and government sectors, but aging developer base. | Small, niche community with limited mainstream support, mostly academic and enthusiast-driven. |
| Learning curve | Steep for modern programmers due to outdated paradigms and verbose syntax. | Gentle for those familiar with Pascal-like languages; designed for simplicity and ease of learning. |
