Key differences between COBOL and Wren
| Characteristic | COBOL | Wren |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Verbose, English-like, designed for readability and business logic. | Concise, C-like, modern scripting syntax. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, some object-oriented features in later versions. | Object-oriented, supports classes and methods. |
| Typing | Static typing, variables must be declared with types. | Dynamically typed, types are determined at runtime. |
| Performance | Optimized for batch processing and transaction-heavy workloads, high performance on mainframes. | Interpreted, generally slower than compiled languages, suitable for scripting and embedding. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited, mostly standard libraries for business and data processing. | Minimal standard library, few third-party libraries, designed to be embedded. |
| Community and support | Large legacy community, strong support in enterprise and government sectors. | Small, niche community, limited support and resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep for modern programmers due to outdated syntax and paradigms. | Gentle for those familiar with modern scripting languages. |
