title: System.Console.WriteLine() vs printfn in F#
body: <p>What is the difference between the following two statements in F#?
  Are they any advantages or disadvantages compared to each other (excluding the obvious syntax differences)?</p>
  
  <p>I understand that WriteLine() is part of .NET, but do not understand what implications this might have.</p>
  
  <p><strong>The Sample Code:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>printfn "This is an integer: %d" 5
  System.Console.WriteLine("This is an integer: {0}" , 5)
  </code></pre>
