Differences

The following are some key differences between Erlang and COBOL.

Characteristic	Erlang	COBOL
Syntax	Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively.	COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax that is easy to read and understand.
Paradigm	Erlang is a concurrent and functional programming language.	COBOL is an imperative and procedural programming language.
Typing	Erlang is dynamically typed.	COBOL is statically typed.
Performance	Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, making it suitable for building scalable and reliable systems.	COBOL is known for its efficient handling of large data sets and batch processing.
Libraries and frameworks	Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems, such as OTP (Open Telecom Platform).	COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern programming languages.
Community and support	Erlang has a small but dedicated community with active support from the Erlang/OTP team.	COBOL has a large legacy community but limited modern support.
Learning curve	Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming concepts.	COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and outdated concepts.
