Yes, 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 :)

From 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'))
