Modules v. namespaces in F#

Question

I\'ve got a library written in F#, consumed by C# and F#. this library defines a class foo, in module bar, in namespace random:

Answer 1

If you're publishing F# components for consumption from other .Net languages, then you should avoid modules in the public interfaces, and stick to namespaces containing classes, structs, and enums.

(Modules are a handy way either to publish values, functions and types among F#-only components, or as 'internal' implementation details of an F# component that publishes .Net classes.)

(Do see also this question for a discussion of the 'technical distinction' between namespaces and modules. This question and my answer above are more about the 'intentional differences' e.g. when you would choose to use each.)
