CharacteristicRacketCOBOL
SyntaxRacket has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation.COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with a focus on readability.
ParadigmRacket supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative.
TypingRacket is dynamically typed.COBOL is statically typed.
PerformanceRacket is generally slower in terms of performance compared to low-level languages.COBOL is known for its efficiency and performance in handling large-scale business applications.
Libraries and frameworksRacket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for various purposes.COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available compared to modern languages.
Community and supportRacket has a smaller but active community with good support.COBOL has a smaller and declining community with limited support.
Learning curveRacket has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners with no prior experience in Lisp-like languages.COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and outdated concepts.
