Differences

The following are some key differences between Ruby and COBOL.

Characteristic	Ruby	COBOL
Syntax	Ruby has a more flexible and expressive syntax compared to COBOL.	COBOL has a more rigid and verbose syntax compared to Ruby.
Paradigm	Ruby is a dynamically-typed, object-oriented language with support for functional programming.	COBOL is a statically-typed, procedural language.
Typing	Ruby is dynamically-typed, meaning variable types are determined at runtime.	COBOL is statically-typed, meaning variable types are determined at compile-time.
Performance	Ruby is generally slower in terms of performance compared to COBOL.	COBOL is known for its efficiency and can perform well in certain domains.
Libraries and frameworks	Ruby has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails.	COBOL has a limited selection of libraries and frameworks compared to Ruby.
Community and support	Ruby has a large and active community with extensive online resources and support.	COBOL has a smaller and less active community compared to Ruby.
Learning curve	Ruby has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for those with prior programming experience.	COBOL has a steeper learning curve, especially for those without prior programming experience.
