Key differences between Kotlin and COBOL

Characteristic	Kotlin	COBOL
Syntax	Kotlin has a modern and concise syntax that is similar to Java but with added features like null safety and extension functions.	COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax that is primarily used for business applications.
Paradigm	Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.	COBOL is a procedural programming language that is primarily used for business applications.
Typing	Kotlin has static typing with type inference, which means that variable types can be inferred by the compiler.	COBOL has static typing, where variable types need to be explicitly declared.
Performance	Kotlin is known for its performance and can be comparable to Java in terms of execution speed.	COBOL is not known for its performance and is generally slower compared to modern programming languages.
Libraries and frameworks	Kotlin has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ktor, Spring Boot, and Android Jetpack.	COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, primarily focused on business applications.
Community and support	Kotlin has a strong and active community with good support from JetBrains, the company behind Kotlin.	COBOL has a smaller and less active community compared to modern programming languages, but it still has support from some organizations.
Learning curve	Kotlin has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java, as it is interoperable with Java.	COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers who are not familiar with its verbose syntax and specific use cases.
