In zsh (the default shell in MacOS), R launches the R programming language console.
r, in contrast, does ... what?
% which r
r: shell built-in command
% man r
No manual entry for r
I can't figure out how to do a web search for this one without getting results for R instead of r.

Neither do I. I've never used zsh or R. But I just read the zsh manual and it says that an alias is applied first, so that's why I suggested it.
