Difference between the ".wl" and the ".m" file types?

Donald Pellegrino, Dow Chemical
Posted 10 years ago

In Mathematica 10.3.1.0, the File, New, Package menu item creates ".wl" files. The documentation for "Setting Up Wolfram Language Package" (tutorial/SettingUpWolframLanguagePackages) makes reference to ".m" files.

What is the difference between the ".wl" and the ".m" file types?

When should each one be used?

I think they are pretty much the same. Possibly new .wl extension is to help promote Wolfram Language and set aside from other companies .m formats. Some of the comments @Murray Eisenberg linked to go along same lines.
