Key differences between COBOL and Objective_C

CharacteristicCOBOLObjective_C
SyntaxCOBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax.Objective-C uses a syntax similar to C with added Smalltalk-style syntax.
ParadigmCOBOL is primarily procedural and imperative.Objective-C is primarily object-oriented.
TypingCOBOL is statically typed.Objective-C is dynamically typed.
PerformanceCOBOL is known for its efficiency and performance in handling large-scale data processing.Objective-C offers good performance but may not be as efficient as lower-level languages.
Libraries and frameworksCOBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages.Objective-C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, especially for iOS and macOS development.
Community and supportCOBOL has a smaller and more specialized community with limited support.Objective-C has a larger community and better support, especially for iOS and macOS development.
Learning curveCOBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers with no prior experience in mainframe programming.Objective-C has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C and object-oriented programming.
