Module vs Package

[Nikhilesh Susarla]

Packages are inside modules. 

Package is nothing but collection of go files under a folder of that package name

But without modules also we can import packages. 

Can someone point out the exact and main difference between package vs modules in golang. 

Thank you

[Axel Wagner]

A package is the unit of compilation - the entire package is compiled in a step and it's also where unexported names are scoped to.

A module is the unit of versioning - it's a bunch of packages versioned and distributed together.
