Key differences between COBOL and Zig
| Characteristic | COBOL | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | English-like, verbose, and designed for readability by non-programmers. | C-like, concise, modern, and designed for clarity and explicitness. |
| Paradigm | Procedural, with some support for structured programming. | Imperative, procedural, and supports some functional programming features. |
| Typing | Static, weak typing with fixed data types and explicit declarations. | Static, strong typing with type inference and safety features. |
| Performance | Optimized for batch processing and business applications; generally fast for its domain. | High performance, close to C, with manual memory management and low-level control. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries; mostly legacy business and financial libraries. | Growing but limited ecosystem; can use C libraries directly. |
| Community and support | Small, aging community; mostly in legacy enterprise environments. | Small but active and growing open-source community. |
| Learning curve | Steep for modern programmers due to outdated syntax and concepts. | Moderate; easier for those familiar with C-like languages, but new concepts for some. |
