What is the difference between path() and re_path()?

Question

In Django2.0 were introduced path() and re_path().

Would that mean that I couldn't use both <type:name> and (?P<name>\d+) syntaxes in the same pattern?

For my understanding is that the path function does not accept regex urls anymore, you need to use the new urls syntax <slug:title> instead of passing a regex to match parameters. The re_path only work with regex formatted urls (The old way we make urls).
