Key differences between Clojure and COBOL

CharacteristicClojureCOBOL
SyntaxClojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on parentheses and prefix notation.COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with a focus on readability.
ParadigmClojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language with limited support for object-oriented programming.
TypingClojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.COBOL is statically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile-time.
PerformanceClojure is known for its good performance due to its efficient implementation on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).COBOL is generally considered to have slower performance compared to modern programming languages.
Libraries and frameworksClojure has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with strong integration with Java libraries.COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, as it is an older language with a smaller community.
Community and supportClojure has an active and supportive community, with regular updates and contributions.COBOL has a smaller and less active community compared to modern programming languages.
Learning curveClojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like syntax.COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in procedural programming.
