Key differences between COBOL and VBScript

CharacteristicCOBOLVBScript
SyntaxVerbose and English-like syntax, designed for readability.Simpler and more concise syntax, similar to JavaScript.
ParadigmProcedural and object-oriented programming.Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented concepts.
TypingStrongly typed, requires explicit declaration of data types.Dynamically typed, types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceOptimized for batch processing and large-scale data handling, generally high performance in those areas.Interpreted language, generally slower and not optimized for performance.
Libraries and frameworksLimited modern libraries, but strong support for business applications and legacy systems.Limited libraries, primarily used for scripting in Windows environments.
Community and supportEstablished community with a focus on enterprise solutions, but smaller than modern languages.Declining community support, primarily used in legacy systems and not widely adopted in new projects.
Learning curveSteeper learning curve due to its verbose syntax and business-oriented concepts.Easier to learn for beginners, especially for those familiar with JavaScript.
