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 -
- Type or paste your Rust code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- 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.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
Rust
COBOL
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Rust and COBOL
Characteristic | Rust | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Rust 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. |
Paradigm | Rust 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. |
Typing | Rust has a strong static type system with type inference. | COBOL has a weak static type system with explicit type declarations. |
Performance | Rust 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 frameworks | Rust 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 support | Rust 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 curve | Rust 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. |
