Differences

The following are some key differences between Python and COBOL.

Characteristic	Python	COBOL
Syntax	Python has a simple and readable syntax with a focus on code readability.	COBOL has a verbose and complex syntax with a focus on business-oriented programming.
Paradigm	Python supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.	COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language.
Typing	Python is dynamically typed, meaning variable types are determined at runtime.	COBOL is statically typed, meaning variable types are determined at compile-time.
Performance	Python is an interpreted language and generally slower than compiled languages like COBOL.	COBOL is a compiled language and generally faster than interpreted languages like Python.
Libraries and frameworks	Python has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various purposes.	COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to Python.
Community and support	Python has a large and active community with extensive support and resources.	COBOL has a smaller and less active community with limited support and resources.
Learning curve	Python has a relatively low learning curve, making it beginner-friendly.	COBOL has a steep learning curve, often requiring specialized training.
