How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to COBOL in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Haskell code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Haskell to COBOL using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.

Example 1 - Is String Palindrome

Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Haskell and COBOL

CharacteristicHaskellCOBOL
SyntaxHaskell has a concise and expressive syntax that emphasizes functional programming concepts.COBOL has a verbose and procedural syntax that is focused on business applications.
ParadigmHaskell is a purely functional programming language.COBOL is a procedural programming language with some support for object-oriented programming.
TypingHaskell has strong static typing with type inference.COBOL has weak static typing with explicit type declarations.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and compiler optimizations.COBOL is not known for its performance and is often used for legacy systems.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for functional programming.COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks, mostly focused on business applications.
Community and supportHaskell has a smaller but dedicated community with active support from the Haskell community.COBOL has a large legacy community but limited active support.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and advanced type system.COBOL has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers with a background in procedural languages.
