- Type or paste your Haskell code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Key differences between Haskell and COBOL
Characteristic | Haskell | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Haskell has a concise and expressive syntax that emphasizes functional programming concepts. | COBOL has a verbose and procedural syntax that is focused on business applications. |
Paradigm | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. | COBOL is a procedural programming language with some support for object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Haskell has strong static typing with type inference. | COBOL has weak static typing with explicit type declarations. |
Performance | Haskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and compiler optimizations. | COBOL is not known for its performance and is often used for legacy systems. |
Libraries and frameworks | Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for functional programming. | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks, mostly focused on business applications. |
Community and support | Haskell has a smaller but dedicated community with active support from the Haskell community. | COBOL has a large legacy community but limited active support. |
Learning curve | Haskell has a steep learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and advanced type system. | COBOL has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers with a background in procedural languages. |
