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. |
