How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Rust to COBOL in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Rust code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Rust to COBOL using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.

Key differences between Rust and COBOL

CharacteristicRustCOBOL
SyntaxRust has a modern and expressive syntax with a focus on safety and concurrency.COBOL has a verbose and procedural syntax with a focus on business applications.
ParadigmRust is a multi-paradigm language that supports imperative, functional, and object-oriented programming.COBOL is a procedural language with limited support for object-oriented programming.
TypingRust has a strong static type system with type inference.COBOL has a weak static type system with explicit type declarations.
PerformanceRust is known for its high performance and low-level control over system resources.COBOL is optimized for batch processing and has good performance for certain business applications.
Libraries and frameworksRust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may have fewer options compared to more established languages.COBOL has a limited selection of libraries and frameworks, mainly focused on business applications.
Community and supportRust has a passionate and active community with good documentation and support.COBOL has a smaller and less active community, but it still has some support and resources available.
Learning curveRust has a steep learning curve due to its focus on memory safety and concurrency.COBOL has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers with a background in procedural programming.
