Differences

The following are some key differences between COBOL and Scheme.

Characteristic	COBOL	Scheme
Syntax	COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax with a focus on readability and self-documentation.	Scheme uses a minimalist and parentheses-heavy syntax with a focus on simplicity and expressiveness.
Paradigm	COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative, with limited support for object-oriented programming.	Scheme is a functional programming language that supports procedural and imperative programming as well.
Typing	COBOL is statically typed, with strong typing and explicit declaration of data types.	Scheme is dynamically typed, with weak typing and implicit conversion of data types.
Performance	COBOL is known for its efficiency and performance in handling large-scale business applications.	Scheme is generally slower than COBOL due to its focus on simplicity and expressiveness over performance.
Libraries and frameworks	COBOL has a limited number of libraries and frameworks available, mainly focused on business applications.	Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to mainstream languages.
Community and support	COBOL has a dedicated community and strong support from legacy systems, but a smaller community compared to modern languages.	Scheme has a smaller community and less mainstream support compared to popular programming languages.
Learning curve	COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and complex concepts, but resources and training materials are available.	Scheme has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on simplicity and a smaller set of core concepts to grasp.
