Also, naming a programming language with a single letter is not very search-friendly.

As someone learning and using R I agree 100%

With q.js I could feel the same as well.

Non-rhetorical question: Why do people continue to do this? The number of unique names still available for a programming language is basically infinite, yet we get stuck with Go and R and C#.

Google is pretty smart about categorizing searches for languages like Ruby and Java (both common words), but with R especially it's often quite difficult to get relevant results.

R predates Google, and derives its name from S
