Differences

The following are some key differences between COBOL and Scala.

Characteristic	COBOL	Scala
Syntax	COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax.	Scala has a concise and expressive syntax influenced by functional programming.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative.	Scala is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming.
Typing	COBOL is statically typed.	Scala is statically typed with type inference.
Performance	COBOL is known for its efficiency and performance in handling large-scale business applications.	Scala is a high-level language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can achieve good performance.
Libraries and frameworks	COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages.	Scala has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, leveraging the Java ecosystem.
Community and support	COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community with limited support.	Scala has a larger and more active community with good support from the Scala community and the Java ecosystem.
Learning curve	COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and specialized nature.	Scala has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with object-oriented and functional programming.
