Whats the difference b/w "loader" and "loaders" inside "loaders" object?

When I am using React-Hot-loader, I see syntax like “loaders” that takes an array of loaders like react-hot and babel. But for css, the loader is spelled “loader” and the value is a string where we pipe results of css-loader to style-loader. What’s the difference? @sokra @gaearon

module: {
    loaders: [{
        test: /\.jsx?$/,
        loaders: ['react-hot', 'babel'],
      },
      {
      test: /\.css$/,
      loader: 'style!css'
    }
    ]
  }

Since webpack 2 there is no difference.

In webpack 1, loaders takes an array, loader takes a string.
