What's the difference between Utils and Libraries?

I’ve done some google searching and there’s a bit of info but none of it is confirmed and alot of it is contradictory. So what is the difference between Utils and Libraries, or are the same thing?

Just naming schemes that are more or less interchangeable. Though, generally, utilities refer to a group of methods that simplifies and/or extends the functionalities of something, such as math, string, tables, Instances, etc. while Libraries refer more to a group of custom classes, services, etc. that can also contain utilities.

So sleitnicks signal module is a util, but his knit framework is a library, since its a package that comes with a bunch of classes/utils.

I guess you can put it that way. In Knit’s case, anything that’s external from the main framework and is reusable is thrown under it’s own Utils folder. Again, just a naming thing.
