How is rm different from what you'd expect? R also has head, tail, grep, ls... all likewise.

And why would you need to google the function c? I don't think there's ever been anything more I've wanted to know about it than is written on ?c.

But your second paragraph makes a good point. For any given big csv of numbers it's a whole lot faster and fewer LOC to clean, organise and plot in R than in Python, even with Python's ever-growing list of imports.

rm() in R is like unset in Unix rather than rm. And ls() in R is like set in Unix. File operations in R have other names.
