Differences

The following are some key differences between COBOL and Ada.

Characteristic	COBOL	Ada
Syntax	COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax.	Ada uses a more structured and Pascal-like syntax.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative.	Ada supports multiple paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and concurrent programming.
Typing	COBOL has weak typing and supports implicit type conversion.	Ada has strong typing and supports explicit type conversion.
Performance	COBOL is known for its efficient performance in handling large-scale business applications.	Ada is designed for high-performance and safety-critical systems.
Libraries and frameworks	COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks available.	Ada has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for various application domains.
Community and support	COBOL has a smaller community and limited support compared to other languages.	Ada has an active community and good support from both industry and academia.
Learning curve	COBOL has a relatively steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and specific domain focus.	Ada has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on strong typing and software engineering principles.
