Key differences between Scala and COBOL

CharacteristicScalaCOBOL
SyntaxScala has a concise and expressive syntax that combines object-oriented and functional programming concepts.COBOL has a verbose and procedural syntax that is primarily used for business applications.
ParadigmScala supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language.
TypingScala is a statically typed language with type inference.COBOL is a statically typed language with explicit type declarations.
PerformanceScala is known for its high performance and scalability.COBOL is optimized for batch processing and may not have the same level of performance as modern languages.
Libraries and frameworksScala has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Akka and Play.COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages.
Community and supportScala has a growing community and good support from the open-source community.COBOL has a smaller community and limited support compared to modern languages.
Learning curveScala has a steep learning curve due to its advanced features and concepts.COBOL has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers with a background in procedural programming.
