Key differences between Dart and COBOL
Characteristic | Dart | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Dart has a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons. | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with a lot of keywords and punctuation. |
Paradigm | Dart supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language. |
Typing | Dart is a statically typed language with type inference. | COBOL is a statically typed language with explicit type declarations. |
Performance | Dart is designed to be fast and efficient, with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler and an ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler. | COBOL is not known for its performance and is often used for legacy systems. |
Libraries and frameworks | Dart has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Flutter for building cross-platform mobile apps. | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages. |
Community and support | Dart has an active and growing community with good support from Google. | COBOL has a smaller and declining community with limited support. |
Learning curve | Dart has a relatively moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-style languages. | COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in mainframe programming. |
