Key differences between Racket and COBOL
Characteristic | Racket | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation. | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with a focus on readability. |
Paradigm | Racket supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. | COBOL is primarily procedural and imperative. |
Typing | Racket is dynamically typed. | COBOL is statically typed. |
Performance | Racket 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 frameworks | Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for various purposes. | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available compared to modern languages. |
Community and support | Racket has a smaller but active community with good support. | COBOL has a smaller and declining community with limited support. |
Learning curve | Racket 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 | COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and outdated concepts. |
