Differences

The following are some key differences between COBOL and OCaml.

Characteristic	COBOL	OCaml
Syntax	COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax, making it easy to read and understand for non-programmers.	OCaml has a concise and expressive syntax, with a strong emphasis on functional programming.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily imperative and procedural, with limited support for object-oriented programming.	OCaml is a multi-paradigm language, supporting functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
Typing	COBOL is statically typed, with weak type checking and limited type inference.	OCaml is statically typed, with strong type checking and powerful type inference.
Performance	COBOL is known for its efficiency and performance in handling large-scale business applications.	OCaml is a high-performance language, often used for computationally intensive tasks.
Libraries and frameworks	COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks available, mostly focused on business applications.	OCaml has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, covering a wide range of domains.
Community and support	COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community, with limited online resources and support.	OCaml has an active and growing community, with extensive online resources and support.
Learning curve	COBOL has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for developers with no prior experience in mainframe programming.	OCaml has a moderate learning curve, with a strong emphasis on functional programming concepts.
