Differences

The following are some key differences between Lua and COBOL.

Characteristic	Lua	COBOL
Syntax	Lua has a simple and lightweight syntax with a focus on simplicity and flexibility.	COBOL has a verbose and complex syntax with a focus on readability and English-like statements.
Paradigm	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.	COBOL is primarily a procedural language with limited support for object-oriented programming.
Typing	Lua is dynamically typed, allowing variables to hold values of any type.	COBOL is statically typed, requiring variables to be declared with specific types.
Performance	Lua is known for its fast and efficient performance.	COBOL is optimized for handling large-scale business applications but may not be as performant as other modern languages.
Libraries and frameworks	Lua has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to other languages, but it has a strong focus on embedding and extending.	COBOL has a limited selection of libraries and frameworks, mainly focused on business applications.
Community and support	Lua has an active and supportive community, with resources and forums available for assistance.	COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community, but there are still resources and support available for COBOL developers.
Learning curve	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, with a simple syntax and a small set of core concepts.	COBOL has a steeper learning curve due to its verbose syntax and specific use cases in business applications.
