| Paradigm | Event-driven and object-oriented programming. | Procedural programming with some support for object-oriented features. |
| Typing | Supports dynamic typing with some static typing features. | Strongly typed with explicit data type declarations. |
| Performance | Generally good for desktop applications but can be slower for complex tasks. | Highly optimized for batch processing and large-scale data handling. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich set of libraries for GUI and Windows applications. | Limited modern libraries, primarily focused on business applications. |
| Community and support | Smaller community, but still has legacy support and resources available. | Larger community due to its long history in enterprise environments. |
| Learning curve | Easier for beginners, especially those familiar with Windows programming. | Steeper learning curve due to its syntax and business-oriented concepts. |
