Key differences between COBOL and Clojure
Characteristic | COBOL | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax. |
Paradigm | COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative. | Clojure is a functional programming language. |
Typing | COBOL is statically typed. | Clojure is dynamically typed. |
Performance | COBOL is known for its efficient performance. | Clojure's performance depends on the JVM. |
