- skrebbel 11y agodoes the R language have an executable also called R? I think the reason is that this is close to home to Ramda users - the typical name for the Ramda object in Javascript is R. (for the unaware, Ramda is basically Underscore but more powerful and with a saner, more consistent API)
- fphilipe 11y agoYes, it does. Even if it didn't, it's still confusing I'd say. Why not just call it ramda? Still quite short. Actually, R is the only single letter executable that I can think of. Chances of clashes are ~1/26 :)
- jskulski 11y agoFrom the js perspective you use it all over the place so it's nice to have a one letter name: var my_sort = R.compose(R.first, R.sort, R.prop('id'))
- baldfat 11y agoR in Linux (OS X is case insensitive, why!) is the command to call R. Usually R is written in an IDE and executed in the IDE or in scripts calling on R.
