COBOL vs Red: What are the differences?
COBOL: Imperative, procedural and, since 2002, object-oriented programming language. COBOL was one of the first programming languages to be standardised: the first COBOL standard was issued by ANSI in 1968. COBOL is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments; Red: Full-Stack programming language inspired by REBOL. It is both an imperative and functional programming language. Its syntax and general usage overlaps that of the interpreted Rebol language.
COBOL and Red can be categorized as "Languages" tools.
