Key differences between Crystal and COBOL

Characteristic	Crystal	COBOL
Syntax	Crystal has a syntax similar to Ruby, with some additional features like static typing.	COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax, which can be difficult for programmers accustomed to modern languages.
Paradigm	Crystal supports object-oriented programming and metaprogramming.	COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative, with limited support for object-oriented programming.
Typing	Crystal has static typing, which allows for better performance and error checking.	COBOL has weak typing, which can lead to unexpected behavior and errors.
Performance	Crystal is known for its high performance, comparable to that of C or C++.	COBOL is not known for its performance and is generally slower compared to modern languages.
Libraries and frameworks	Crystal has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although not as extensive as some other languages.	COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, as it is primarily used for legacy systems.
Community and support	Crystal has a small but active community, with ongoing development and support.	COBOL has a small and shrinking community, with limited support and resources.
Learning curve	Crystal has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with Ruby or other similar languages.	COBOL has a steep learning curve, as it has a unique syntax and is primarily used in legacy systems.
