Differences

The following are some key differences between COBOL and Objective-C.

Characteristic	COBOL	Objective-C
Syntax	COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax.	Objective-C uses a syntax similar to C with added Smalltalk-style syntax.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative.	Objective-C is primarily object-oriented.
Typing	COBOL is statically typed.	Objective-C is dynamically typed.
Performance	COBOL 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 frameworks	COBOL 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 support	COBOL 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 curve	COBOL 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.
