What is littler

littler is:

The ‘r’ (aka ’littler’) program provides a lightweight binary wrapper around the GNU R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.

While R can be used in batch mode, the r binary adds full support for both ‘shebang’-style scripting (i.e. using a hashmark-exclamation-path expression as the first line in scripts) as well as command-line use in standard Unix pipelines.
