| Characteristic | Janet | COBOL |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Minimalist, Lisp-like with s-expressions, concise and modern. | Verbose, English-like, designed for readability and business logic. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: functional, imperative, and metaprogramming. | Procedural, with some object-oriented features in later versions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed. |
| Performance | Efficient for scripting and embedding, but not optimized for heavy computation. | Optimized for batch processing and large-scale business data handling. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited but growing ecosystem, focused on scripting and embedding. | Limited modern libraries, mostly legacy business and financial systems. |
| Community and support | Small, active, and modern open-source community. | Large legacy user base, strong support in enterprise and government sectors. |
| Learning curve | Moderate for those familiar with Lisp-like languages; concise syntax. | Steep for modern programmers due to verbosity and legacy concepts. |
