Key differences between COBOL and Lua

Characteristic	COBOL	Lua
Syntax	COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax.	Lua has a simple and lightweight syntax.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative.	Lua is primarily procedural and functional.
Typing	COBOL is statically typed.	Lua is dynamically typed.
Performance	COBOL is known for its high performance in handling large-scale data processing.	Lua is lightweight and efficient, but not optimized for heavy computational tasks.
Libraries and frameworks	COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks available.	Lua has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available.
Community and support	COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community with limited support.	Lua has a larger and more active community with extensive support.
Learning curve	COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and outdated concepts.	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easy to pick up and understand.
